Description
Sweet & Savory Pineapple Meatball Bowl brings together juicy meatballs and tangy pineapple in a deliciously satisfying bowl. It’s a comforting yet exciting meal, perfect for when you want bold flavors and textures in a single dish.
Ingredients
500 g ground meat (beef or mixed)
60 g breadcrumbs
30 g grated Parmesan
1 egg
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
½ tsp paprika
¼ cup finely chopped onion
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix the ground meat, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, egg, garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, and onion until just combined.
- Shape the mixture into even meatballs (about 20–24, depending on size).
- Heat a skillet over medium heat with a drizzle of oil, then add the meatballs, cooking until browned on all sides (~5 minutes).
- Add pineapple chunks to the pan and let everything warm through, turning once.
- Let the meatballs simmer with the pineapple briefly, ensuring they’re cooked through.
- Adjust seasoning if needed and serve directly in a bowl, spooning the pineapple juices over everything.
Notes
- Swap ground turkey or chicken for a lighter twist.
- Toss in bell peppers or snap peas for extra color and crunch.
- For added flavor, drizzle sweet chili sauce or teriyaki glaze.
- If using canned pineapple, drain it well to prevent extra liquid.
