Sweet and Spicy Meatballs on a fluffy bed of Jasmine Rice

 
 

A little bit of sweet with a dash of spicy is always a great combination. These Mango Meatballs are defiantly a beautiful marriage of flavors between the two.

 
 

 
 

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 1 hour, 30 minutes

Total Time: 1 hour, 45 minutes

Serving Size: 20+ meatblls

 
 

 
 

Ingredients for the meatballs:

• 1 lb ground turkey (ground beef or pork works as well)
• 1 small jalapeno pepper
• 1/2 cup bread crumbs
• 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 1/2 Parmesan cheese grated
• 1 tablespoon Sriracha Chili Garlic Sauce
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon pepper

 
 

Ingredients for the sauce:

• 1 medium sized mango cubed
• 2 tablespoons Sriracha Chili Garlic Sauce
• 1/2 cup of water
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1 freshly squeezed orange
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

 
 

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F

Lightly spray a cooking sheet with cooking spray.
 
 

For the Meatballs ....

• In a large bowl mix all the meatball ingredients well using your hands or a fork.

• Using your hands or a small ice cream scoop form balls into your desired size. Approx 1-1/2 inches.

• Place the meatballs on your cooking sheet and bake for 30 minutes. If you are using another meat like ground beef, you will need to adjust your time.
   
   

For the Sauce...

• While you wait for the meatballs to bake combine all the sauce ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth.

• Place the sauce into a crock pot and turn the crock pot on high and add the meatballs to the crock pot when they are done baking in the oven.

• Let the sauce and meatballs cook for 1 hour in the crock pot.
   
   

Now is a good time to cook up some white rice (Jasmine is the best) as a nice white fluffy yummy bedding of goodness for your meatballs.
 
 

Place the meatballs on your bed of white rice with a small amount of sauce and enjoy!
 
 

Top with some chopped green onion or your desired choice.
