Preparation
Step 1
300 g minced chicken – 1 egg – 3 tbsp Kikkoman Naturally Brewed Soy Sauce – 2 tsp za'atar spice – 1 pinch of ground chilli – 1 pinch of pepper – 1 ½ tbsp bread crumbs
Mix the mince with an egg, Kikkoman Soy Sauce and spices. Add the bread crumbs and mix again until the mixture can be easily moulded.
Step 2
Moisten your hands and shape the mixture into neat meatballs about 3 cm in diameter. Skewer the meatballs in batches of 3 to 5 and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Step 3
100 g cranberries from the jar – 2 tbsp Kikkoman Teriyaki BBQ-Sauce with Honey – 1 tsp grated orange zest – 1 tbsp lemon juice – 1 pinch of dried oregano – 1 chilli pepper (optional)
Mix the cranberries with Kikkoman Teriyaki BBQ-Sauce Honey, orange zest, lemon juice and oregano. If you fancy an extra kick, add finely chopped chilli to taste.
Step 4
1 tbsp oil for greasing
Coat the meatballs with oil using a brush. Grill on a hot griddle for about 5 minutes on each side. Then brush the meatballs with glaze on each side and grill again.
Tip:
You can also use minced pork or a mixture of ground meats instead of minced chicken.
The dish can also be served with your favourite salad, and any remaining cranberry marinade doubles as a delightful dip.
As an alternative to za'atar spice you can use a combination of dried thyme, sesame seeds, sumac (or grated lemon zest), and a pinch of salt.
