Pin Recipe Instructions
- From the specified amount I get about 130 walnut-sized meatballs, which are enough for about 40 people at a buffet.
- Finely dice the dates, apricots, onions and apples and place in a large bowl. Add the finely chopped chilli peppers, minced meat, breadcrumbs, eggs and baharat and season with salt and pepper. Knead well so that all ingredients are mixed into a mass, form small balls out of them and place on baking sheets with baking paper. I recommend pieces about the size of a walnut, as these are the easiest to eat at the buffet.
- Now brush the balls with a mixture of lemon juice and oil so that they are nice and crispy in the oven.
- Preheat the oven to 180 ° C and bake the trays individually for 45 minutes on top and bottom heat.
- Then place the balls on kitchen paper so that they are not too greasy later.
- This recipe is perfect for parties or family celebrations, as the meatballs can be prepared very well the day before and taste even better cold than warm. So far I had looked for and tested something sweet and savory in vain until I came to this final version. A complete success at all celebrations so far.
