INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup dry bread crumbs
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup distilled white vinegar
  • 4 tablespoons packed brown sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

DIRECTIONS

  1. In a large bowl, mix together ground beef, milk, and bread crumbs. Season with cloves, allspice, salt, and pepper. Shape into 1 inch balls.
  2. Heat oil in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Cook the meatballs until evenly brown; drain excess fat. Stir in water, vinegar, brown sugar, ginger, and bay leaf. Cover, and simmer for 30 minutes. Skim off any fat. Transfer meatballs to a serving dish, and keep warm.
