SPICY ORANGE BISON BALLS

Spicy Orange Bison Balls image

This recipe is inspired by the retro classic cocktail meatballs in grape jelly. I took that idea, along with my love of spicy orange beef, and came up with this combination.

Ingredients

1 pound ground bison
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup plain breadcrumbs
1 egg, beaten
½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 tablespoons Asian chile pepper sauce
½ cup orange marmalade
1 tablespoon soy sauce
¼ cup rice vinegar
3 cups water

Steps:

Mix the bison, garlic, breadcrumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl until evenly combined; divide the mixture into 24 portions and roll into balls.
Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook the meatballs until nicely browned on all sides, 7 to 10 minutes.
Add the chili sauce, orange marmalade, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and water to the skillet. Bring the mixture to a simmer, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until the sauce thickens, about 1 hour.
