Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, whisk together egg, garlic, ginger, orange puree, jam, ketchup, salt and wheat germ. Add the ground meat and mix with hands until well combined. Using damp hands, pinch off a large tbsp of meat and gently shape mix into golf ball sized meatballs.

Preheat oven to 350. Brush a large cookie sheet with 2 tbsp oil. Gently place meat balls on sheet, and bake for 10 minutes. Using a spatula to loosen, turn the meatballs over to brown on the other side, then return to the oven for another 10 minutes. Simmer and serve with Sweet n Sassy sauce.
