Instructions

1. Clean, wash, dry the spring onions and cut into fine rings. Chop the pecans into small pieces. Soak the roll in cold water, let it swell and squeeze out well. Peel the garlic and press it through a press. Cut the dates into very small pieces.
2. Put these ingredients together with the minced meat, egg and spices in a bowl and knead with your hands. If necessary, add breadcrumbs so that the dough binds better and does not fall apart during frying. Shape the meat dough into small balls with your hands.
3. Heat the oil in a non-stick pan and fry the meatballs until golden brown on all sides. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Heat the oven to 200 ° C and place the meatballs on the baking sheet. Bake the balls in the oven for about 20 minutes. Then take it out, let it cool down a bit, put 4 balls on each wooden skewer and brush with the honey.
4. Before serving, heat the meatballs briefly or serve cold with a salad and flatbread.
5. Tip: The balls are suitable as finger food at a party or for a buffet.
