Red Bell Pepper Pork Boulettes (Meatballs) image

The original recipe came from my DD's culinary school education packet, however she reworked it to her taste. She served it at home with a creamy sauce served on a bed of homemade pasta. Our family loved them plain right out of the refrigerator. The recipe makes 24 one inch balls, but you may want to double it and freeze the extras.

Time 1h30m

Yield 24 meatballs, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup onion (finely chopped)
1/4 cup green onion (finely chopped)
1/2 cup red bell pepper (finely chopped)
1 garlic clove (minced)
1/2 lb pork (ground)
1/2 cup breadcrumbs (fine & dried, add additional if mixture is too wet)

1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 egg
3/4 cup flour
oil (for frying)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Sweat onions, bell pepper, green onions and garlic until tender in 2 tbsp of butter.
  • Remove from heat and allow to cool.
  • Once cool combine vegetable mixture, ground pork, egg, bread crumbs, and salt/pepper. Mix until well incorporated.
  • Cook a test patty to see if seasoning needs to be adjusted.
  • Form meatballs to desired size about 1".
  • Dredge meatballs in flour and shake off any excess.
  • Heat pan with oil (enough to shallow fry the meatballs) over medium high heat and place a meatball in, if it does not sear or if it burns adjust your heat.
  • Once the pan is ready brown your meatballs and place on a baking sheet and pop them in the oven.
  • Cook until they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees or when you cut one in half and there is no visible sign of pink.
  • Enjoy!

These meatballs were a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would use less salt next time.

I made these meatballs with a combination of ground beef and ground pork, and they were so flavorful. I also added some chopped onion and garlic to the mixture, which gave them an extra boost of flavor. I will definitely be making these again.

These meatballs were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would add more liquid next time, such as broth or tomato sauce.

I made these meatballs in the oven instead of frying them, and they turned out just as good. I also used a combination of ground beef and ground pork, which gave them a really nice flavor.

These meatballs were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. I will definitely make them again, but I'll use less chili powder next time.

I made these meatballs with ground turkey instead of pork, and they were still delicious. I also added some chopped spinach to the mixture for an extra boost of nutrients.

I'm not a big fan of bell peppers, but I really enjoyed these meatballs. The bell pepper flavor was subtle and didn't overpower the pork. I will definitely be making these again.
