SWEDISH MEATBALL SKEWERS

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.

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 0

Steps:

  • Mix 1 cup cooked spaghetti, 1 beaten egg and 1/4 cup grated parmesan. Wrap the spaghetti mixture around 12 cooked mini meatballs. Fry in 2 inches of 350 degrees F vegetable oil until golden, 5 minutes. Garnish with parsley and serve on skewers with marinara sauce.

Tips:

  • Choose the right meat: For the best meatballs, use a combination of ground beef, pork, and veal. This will give you a tender and flavorful meatball.
  • Season the meatballs well: Don't be afraid to add plenty of herbs and spices to your meatballs. This will help them to taste their best.
  • Cook the meatballs thoroughly: Make sure that the meatballs are cooked all the way through before serving. This will help to prevent foodborne illness.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Don't just stick to one or two vegetables for your skewers. Use a variety of colors and textures to make your skewers more visually appealing and flavorful.
  • Don't overcrowd the skewers: When assembling your skewers, don't overcrowd them. This will make it difficult to cook the meatballs evenly.
  • Serve the skewers with a dipping sauce: A dipping sauce is a great way to add extra flavor to your skewers. Try serving them with a marinara sauce, a tzatziki sauce, or a honey mustard sauce.
