Meatballs with Peach-Barbecue Sauce

by Anna Chwistek
Anna Chwistek

30 minute skillet meatballs with peach-barbecue sauce. It’s slightly sweet, savory and packed with flavor. Tender meatballs tossed in a smoky bbq-sauce jazzed up with peaches, honey and garlic. Chili flakes and sriracha are added for a spicy punch, but you can add as much heat as you like. Serve over white rice and crisp lettuce for a light, summery dinner. It’s delicious and so darn easy. Perfect for any busy weeknights.

RECIPE NOTES

  • you can make these meatballs with any kind of ground meat, like chicken, turkey or beef, but rich pork goes especially well with juicy peaches and a hearty barbecue sauce
  • you can use peaches or nectarines
  • make sure to use ripe peaches, they should be very soft so they cook quickly, but also  sweet so they contrast perfectly with the savory meatballs and spicy sauce
  • rice goes perfectly here, but you can serve it with a crisp lettuce salad and some bread for a lighter, more summery dinner
  • canned peaches work great, too
  • make it as spicy as you can handle

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 3 ripe peaches, cut into wedges
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 4 scallions, sliced
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • rice, for serving

Meatballs

  • 450 g/1 lbs ground pork
  • ½ tsp each: dried ginger, dried garlic, dried onion, cumin powder, salt, black pepper
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 2 tbsp breadcrumbs

Barbecue Sauce

  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp sriracha, optional
  • 3 tbsp ketchup
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp each: red pepper flakes, smoked paprika, black pepper

Instructions

    1. Combine the ingredients for the bbq sauce in a small bowl.
    2. Cook rice according to package directions.
    3. Combine all the ingredients for the meatballs in a large bowl. Mix until just combined, using your hands. Coat your hands with water and roll the meat into 2 tablespoon-size balls. Will make about 20 meatballs.
    4. In a large non-stick skillet, heat oil and butter over medium heat. Add meatballs and brown on all sides, about 10 minutes, turning them 2-3 times. Remove from skillet, leaving as much grease in the skillet as possible.
    5. Lower the heat, add garlic and cook until soft and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Deglaze the skillet with a splash of the bbq sauce. Stir with a wooden spoon to dissolve the browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
    6. Add peaches, cook until they start to brown, about 3 minutes.
    7. Pour in bbq-sauce and add scallions, bring to a boil.
    8. Slide meatballs back to the skillet and simmer for 5 minutes or until the meatballs are heated through. Adjust salt, if needed.
    9. Serve immediately with rice and a crisp lettuce salad, enjoy!
