Make a mountain of meals with one (big) batch of these meatballs from the "Dinner in a Flash" story in the March 2005 issue. Pineapple gives this sauce an appetizing sweetness. Serve over noodles or rice.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 cup chopped red onions or yellow onion
- 2 stalks celery, sliced
- 1 sweet yellow pepper, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper
- 1/2 cup apricot jam
- 1 8oz can pineapple tidbits
- 1 quarter Freezer Meatballs
- 2 tsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh coriander or parsley
Preparation
In large skillet, heat oil over medium heat; fry onion, celery, yellow pepper, garlic and cayenne, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened, about 3 minutes.
Whisk in apricot jam, pineapple and 1/2 cup (125 mL) water; bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer until thickened, about 10 minutes. Add meatballs; simmer, stirring often, until hot, 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix 1 tbsp (15 mL) water with cornstarch; stir into sauce and simmer until thickened, 5 minutes. Sprinkle with coriander.
