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 teaspoon salt
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 dry, but they were still flavorful. I think I'll add some more bread crumbs next time.

I'm not a big fan of meatballs, but these were really good. The bell peppers added a nice sweetness and the meatballs were very moist.

I made these meatballs for my family and they loved them. They're a great way to use up leftover bell peppers.

These meatballs were a bit too spicy for my taste, but they were still very good. I think next time I'll use half the amount of red pepper flakes.

I love meatballs, and these were some of the best I've ever had. They were so moist and tender, and the bell peppers gave them a nice kick. I will definitely be making these again.

These meatballs were easy to make and turned out great. I used ground turkey instead of pork, and they were still very flavorful. I served them with a side of roasted potatoes and green beans.

I'm not a big fan of bell peppers, but I decided to give this recipe a try anyway. I'm glad I did, because these meatballs were amazing! The bell peppers added a subtle sweetness that really complemented the pork. I will definitely be making these ag

These meatballs were a hit! They were so flavorful and juicy, and the bell peppers added a nice sweetness. I served them over rice with a side of steamed vegetables, and it was a delicious and healthy meal.
