  • Impress your mates with these easy, delicious glazed venison meatballs as a gourmet appetizer or bulk them up with rice or noodles and Asian veggies to make a meal for four.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 Tbsp neutral vegetable oil (e.g. rice bran)

  • 1 packet (12) First Light venison meatballs
  • 1 Tbsp sesame seeds – lightly toasted
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp spring onion – finely sliced

GLAZE

  • 1 tsp corn flour

  • 2 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 cloves of garlic – finely chopped
  • 1cm piece of ginger – finely chopped
  • 2 Tbsp honey
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp rice wine vinegar (or 1 Tbsp white vinegar)
  • 1 Tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 1/2 Tbsp sesame oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon of chili flakes (optional for spicy)
  • 1/4 tsp of fennel seeds (optional)

Cooking Method

  1. To make glaze, combine all ingredients in a small pot and gently heat until sauce thickens. Remove from heat.
  2. Add 1/2 Tbsp vegetable oil in a large frying pan and bring to medium heat. If you’d prefer bite-sized meatballs, break each meatball in half and roll into 2 smaller ones.
  3. Brown meatballs on all sides, then remove from heat and leave meatballs in the warm pan for approximately 3 minutes to allow them to cook through.

Serve

  1. Pour glaze over meatballs, then arrange glazed meatballs on a platter or plate. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced scallions.
  2. Serve meatballs with tooth picks and napkins as a fantastic gourmet appetizer.

Tip

This recipe also works well served with rice or noodles and Asian veg.
