Sweet & Spicy Mango Meatballs #SundaySupper

January 25, 2015 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 40 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Football season is finally coming to an end and this weekend #SundaySupper teamed up with Gallo Family Vineyards to share with you our favorite football recipes.  I have lots of favorites and today I am sharing with you one of my personal favorites.  Sweet & Spicy Mango Meatballs.  Yum!  This is a total change-up from traditional meatballs.  It is sweet, spicy, easy to make and out of this world!

Sweet & Spicy Mango Meatballs #SundaySupper

These little meatballs are not only simple to make, and tasty to eat but they only come in at 40 calories each.  I think I ate 5 during the photographing of these little guys.  Hey what can I say?  They are good.  To make the meatballs I used lean ground beef, lean ground pork and some fresh garlic, onions and crushed red peppers.  Just mix it all together and roll into little inch balls.  I found it best to use a small cookie scoop to make them close in size.

Sweet & Spicy Mango Meatballs #SundaySupper


To make the amazing sweet and spicy mango sauce I used mango, jalapeno, honey, orange juice, garlic and water.  I blended it all in my blender to make it creamy smooth.  Than I heated it up on the stove top so all the flavors mend together.  This recipe makes quite a bit of sauce, so you may have some leftover.  I thought it would be nice to spread some of the sauce on my serving platter, so you can scoop more of it up.  You could even put some in a bowl for more dipping.

I paired my meatballs with Gallo Family Vineyards Pink Moscato which is a light-bodied, but bursting with aromas of fresh citrus and peach, followed by hints of fresh red berries and orange blossoms.  A perfect match with the orange in the mango sauce. It is one of my all time favorites!

I also paired it with Gallo Family Vineyards Cafe Zinfandel which has hints of  strawberry, raspberry and watermelon flavors.  This offsets the spice in the meatballs and makes for a great combination.

Sweet & Spicy Mango Meatballs #SundaySupper These meatballs are perfect for serving at your next football party or even if you’re having a cocktail party.  I think they would be a sure hit!  These a are a little different, a little unique and simply out of this world.  They will be the talk of your party!

Author: Jennifer Drummond
Recipe type: Appetizer
Serves: 35
Ingredients
  • ½ cup onion, diced small
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan
  • ½ lbs. lean ground beef
  • ½ lbs. lean ground pork
  • 1½ tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 tsp. hot sauce (such as Tabasco)
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • ½ tsp. ground pepper
  • For the Mango Glaze:
  • 1¼ cups mango, peeled and cubed (you can use frozen too)
  • ½ jalapeno
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • ½ cup water
  • ½ cup orange juice
  • ¼ cup honey
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  2. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or greased foil
  3. In a large bowl, add onion, garlic, breadcrumbs, ground beef, ground pork, crushed peppers, hot sauce, salt and pepper. Mix until well combined. (I used my hands to mix it)
  4. Roll meat balls into 1" balls and place onto prepared baking sheet. (I used a small cookie scoop to make evenly sized meatballs)
  5. Bake in oven for 15-20 minutes until golden in color and the meat is cooked through.
  6. Meanwhile to make mango sauce, add all remaining ingredients into a blender or food processor. Process until smooth and well combined.
  7. Add the mango sauce to a medium sauce pan and cook on medium-low heat until thick. About 5 minutes.
  8. Place a toothpick into meatballs and dip into mango glaze. Serve on a platter. For an extra boost of flavor, add a little bit of the mango sauce to your platter.
Notes
I had leftover sauce, so the calories maybe less.

      The mangoes add a different flavor to the meatballs, a tad pinch of sweetness and the jalapeno adds that kick of spice that it needs. It’s a great combo.

Happy first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t k Happy first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t know it in California. We are still getting rain and it’s in the mid 50’s. We should be in the 70’s by now. I wonder what the summer temps will be like this year?
🌺
Even though it may not feel like Spring,  there is no reason why we can’t start prepping for it. It’s going to be time soon to plant flowers, add a floral wreath to the front door and of course a welcome mat to invite everyone to your home. 
🌺
I wanted to share with you my new welcome mat that I got from @cocomatsnmore. They just had their Spring release and oh my gosh so many cute ones. I love there welcome mats. They are thick, bright colors and fast shipping. I absolutely love the flowers and the saying “Live Life in Full Bloom”. It’s so very true.

What are you most looking forward to this Spring?

I did have a very hard time taking my sink tray off the counter. I’ve had the tray there for years, so I thought I would change it up. Don’t be surprised if the sink tray makes its way back. 😂 I may add some herbs to my window sill for some fresh green color.

My husband and I are not fancy when it comes to eating dinner. Since it’s just the two of us, we never use the dining room table, but always eat at the kitchen counter.
🥕
There is no reason why we can’t eat fancy at the kitchen counter. I am using my new placemats that I got from @vmathome. They are thick, water, stain resistant and can handle heat up to 350F degrees. I love the color and style of the placemats. They have a wide variety of styles and colors, along with matching table runners.
🥕
I styled my table with bright spring colors that I was inspired by carrots. I still have bunnies on the brain. lol I had fun with this place setting, it’s so nice to have dinner with a little style then having it on a plain plate and paper napkins.
🥕
Have a wonderful weekend!!

Boy you should see it now. It’s a big muddy mess. With all the rain and high winds we sure have a huge mess to clean. I can’t wait until we get some warm days.
