Swedish Meatball Skewers image

Samsung's Flex Duo Oven (NE595R1) with the Smart Dividerâ„¢ is key to these one-bite appetizers. With the ability for the spacious 5.9 cu. ft.single oven to split into two ovens to cook two different items at two different temperatures at the same time, with no mingling of flavors, cranberries poach at a low temperature while meatballs roast at a high one. The results are nicely browned meatballs paired with gently poached tart-sweet cranberries.

Yield Makes about 80 meatballs

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
1 cup fresh cranberries
4 strips fresh orange zest (removed with a vegetable peeler)
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 large shallots, minced
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
1/4 cup half and half
1 large egg, beaten
2 pounds ground meat, preferably a combination of beef chuck, veal, and pork
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat one oven to 475 degrees F, with a rack in the top and bottom, and the other to 300 degrees F. Line 2 half-sheet pans with parchment paper.
  • 2. In a small ovenproof saucepan, stir together the sugar and water until the sugar dissolves. Stir in the cranberries, orange zest, and 2 tablespoons honey. Cover and transfer to the 300 degrees F oven. Poach until the cranberries are plumped and warm but have not burst, about 30 minutes. Discard the orange zest.
  • 3. Meanwhile, in a small skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the shallots and a generous pinch of salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 5 minutes. Let cool slightly.
  • 4. In a large bowl, stir together the bread crumbs and half and half until well mixed, then stir in the egg, remaining tablespoon honey, and shallot mixture. Add the ground meat and a very generous pinch of salt and a pinch of pepper and use your hands to mix thoroughly.
  • 5. Use a tablespoon to portion the mixture into small meatballs and set them on the prepared pans, spacing 1 inch apart. Roast until browned and cooked through, about 20 minutes, switching the pans halfway through.
  • 6. Use decorative cocktail toothpicks to skewer together 1 meatball and 1 cranberries. Spoon the cranberry cooking liquid over the skewers, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and serve.

I love these meatballs! They are so easy to make and they always turn out delicious. I usually serve them with mashed potatoes and green beans, but they are also great on their own.

These meatballs were amazing! I followed the recipe exactly and they turned out perfect. The meatballs were moist and flavorful, and the lingonberry sauce was the perfect complement. I will definitely be making these again.

I thought these meatballs were just okay. They were a bit bland for my taste. I would probably doctor up the meatball mixture next time with some additional spices.

These meatballs were a bit dry, but the lingonberry sauce helped to make them more moist. I would probably try them again with a different meatball recipe.

These meatballs were a bit of a disappointment. They were dry and bland. I think I would have liked them better if I had used a different meatball recipe.
