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
 

  • Combine the ingredients for the bbq sauce in a small bowl.
  • Cook rice according to package directions.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Add peaches, cook until they start to brown, about 3 minutes.
  • Pour in bbq-sauce and add scallions, bring to a boil.
  • Slide meatballs back to the skillet and simmer for 5 minutes or until the meatballs are heated through. Adjust salt, if needed.
  • Serve immediately with rice and a crisp lettuce salad, enjoy!
