My 4-year-old previously meatball-loving child, has recently decided, in fact, she does not like meatballs any longer. Or tomato sauce. My husband does not like spaghetti squash. And I am trying to cut back on my carbs just a smidge. In short, dinner is becoming harder and harder to coordinate. So when I made sweet and sour meatballs for the first time recently and they were devoured, I knew we had a winner.
I served these meatballs with simple roasted spaghetti squash for myself and some rice for my husband and daughter, so everyone was happy.
Variation: If you want to cut the sugar in this recipe, you can reduce to 2 Tbsp brown sugar, or replace with honey or stevia. If you want to remove a sweetener all together, try pureeing 1 whole, peeled carrot in a food processor. While sauteing the onion, add the pureed carrot, which will add natural sweetness.
Special thanks to this recipe from Kosher By Gloria for inspiring this post.
