Pork Meatballs with Cashews

 Ingredients: -120 g cashew nuts -1 onion -2-3 cloves of garlic -600 g minced pork -2 tablespoons olive oil -2 tablespoons honey -3 tablespoons soy sauce -1 egg -100 g breadcrumbs -oil for frying

To create a delicious recipe for nut meatballs, we will start by preparing the necessary ingredients and transforming them into a savory dish. In the first step, we roughly crush the nuts. This can be done using a mixer, but a traditional method involves placing the nuts in a nylon bag and crushing them with a rolling pin, resulting in a pleasant texture. This will add a special flavor and a crunchy note to the meatballs.

Next, we will take care of the onion and garlic. Chop the onion finely and mince the garlic, then heat the oil in a pan. Add the chopped onion and garlic and sauté them over medium heat, stirring constantly, until they become translucent and aromatic. At this point, add the crushed nuts and honey, continuing to stir to avoid burning. Let the mixture cook, stirring constantly, until the nuts and honey begin to caramelize and the flavors intensify.

Once the mixture has taken on a golden color and an inviting aroma, pour in the soy sauce and mix well. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes over medium heat, so that all the ingredients combine harmoniously. The next step is to add the minced meat. Remove the pan from the heat and mix the mixture well, ensuring that all ingredients are evenly distributed. Don't forget to season with salt and pepper, considering that the soy sauce is already salty.

After the mixture has cooled, form meatballs of appropriate size. To achieve a crispy crust, dip each meatball in beaten egg and then in breadcrumbs. Heat oil in a pan and fry the meatballs on all sides until they are golden and crispy. After frying, remove them to paper towels to absorb excess oil and keep them warm.

Nut meatballs are served hot, alongside soy sauce and ketchup, which perfectly complement the flavors. This dish is ideal for a family dinner or as an appetizer at a party. The intense aroma of caramelized nuts combined with the rich taste of meat makes these meatballs truly special, and each bite will bring a smile to the faces of those who taste them. Enjoy every moment of preparation and the joy of sharing these delicious meatballs with loved ones!
