Comment préparer Meatballs With Sweet Sour Sauce
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large bowl, combine ground meat, breadcrumbs, egg, parsley, garlic, salt, and pepper. Gently mix until just combined.
- Roll the mixture into 20 meatballs (approximately 1.5 inches in diameter).
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the meatballs on all sides, about 5-7 minutes total.
- Transfer meatballs to a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until cooked through.
- While meatballs bake, prepare the sauce: In a medium saucepan, whisk together cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of cold water until smooth.
- Heat remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in red bell pepper and cook for another 2 minutes.
- Stir in crushed tomatoes, vinegar, and sugar. Season with pepper and salt to taste.
- Bring to a simmer, then stir in the cornstarch mixture. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
- Remove from heat. Using an immersion blender, blend the sauce until smooth. (Alternatively, carefully transfer to a regular blender in batches and blend until smooth. Be cautious when blending hot liquids.)
- Strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any seeds or lumps.
- Add the meatballs to the sauce, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
- Meanwhile, cook spaghetti according to package directions.
- Serve the meatballs and sauce over the cooked spaghetti. Enjoy!
