CRANBERRY-GLAZED COCKTAIL MEATBALLS RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 400ºF (200ºC) and brush a baking sheet with olive oil. 2. In a medium bowl combine pork, parsley, garlic, soaked bread, 5-spice powder, egg and salt and pepper to taste. Mash together with hands to mix well. With wet hands, roll the mixture into 24 equal balls, about 1-inch (2.5-cm) each. Place meatballs on greased baking sheet and brush lightly with olive oil. Bake meatballs 15 minutes and flip them over (you may need to use a metal spatula to unstick meatballs from pan). Turn on broiler and continue cooking meatballs for 5 to 10 minutes or until crispy and cooked to desired doneness. 3. To make the cranberry glaze, heat olive oil in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add garlic and cook for about 5 minutes or until softened but not browned. Whisk in chili paste, sesame oil, cranberry sauce, soy sauce, honey and oyster sauce. Simmer 2 to 3 minutes. 4. Remove meatballs from oven and transfer to a large bowl. Pour glaze over meatballs and toss to coat. Skewer meatballs on a cocktail pick or toothpick and place on a platter. Serve warm. Makes 24 meatballs, serves 6
