Pork and Water Chestnut Meatballs

February 12, 2018 by mgrc Leave a Comment

Chopped water chestnuts, mixed with ground pork, give these meatballs crunch. You serve them in a sweet-sour sauce with chunk pineapple and green peppers. Keep them hot in a chafing dish; spear them with wooden picks.

To shape meatballs easily, use a #70 ice cream scoop. Dip in cold water between scoops. You can make meatballs ahead in the sauce, package, and freeze them a week or two.

You a can substitute 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger for the fresh.
