This was a recipe MONTHS in the making! It's a unique & delicious twist on a meatball recipe, combining savory flavors with the sweet & tangy taste of passion fruit! After meeting in Austin earlier this year at Siete Foods HQ, Michelle Daniels(@backporchpaleo) and I have been so excited to create a recipe together! Michelle created her own version of this recipe, using fresh passion fruit (versus frozen) and with other similar ingredients! Find her recipe HERE> Whether you're meal prepping, heading to a tailgate, or making dinner- these meatballs will be a hit. Provecho amigos!

Process

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and milk to create a thick-like paste, also known as a panade.
  2. Set this mixture to the side and let sit for a 10-12 minutes until the breadcrumbs absorb the milk.
  3. Add the ground meat, egg, minced garlic, shallot, parsley, and seasonings to a large bowl. Mix until well combined, be careful not to over-mix.
  4. You can either bake your meatballs at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes, or until fully cooked at 165 degrees.
  5. You can also cook over a large skillet. Add oil to a large skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs in batches, browning them on all sides. Once browned, remove them from the skillet and set aside.
  6. In the same skillet (or a new skillet), add the passion fruit, honey, water, tamari, and apple cider vinegar. Stir to combine. Add salt to taste.
  7. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat.
  8. Gradually add the arrowroot slurry, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Cook the sauce until it thickens, about 2-3 minutes. Taste and adjust sweetness or tanginess by adding more honey, salt, or vinegar, if needed.
  9. Return the browned meatballs to the skillet with the passion fruit sauce.
  10. Reduce the heat to low and let the meatballs simmer in the sauce for about 10-15 minutes, ensuring they are cooked through and infused with the sauce.
  11. Serve the passion fruit meatballs hot, garnished with extra parsley if desired.

Notes

  • A Panade: is a mixture of bread, crackers, or breadcrumbs mixed with milk and used in meat-based recipes to keep meat moist while cooking!
  • Be careful when you're mixing your meatballs. Over-mixing can make meatballs tough!
  • This recipe can also use FRESH passion fruit!
