Quest 95: Crescent Island Tropical Meatballs

20170124_181431

On my last trip to Crescent Island in Oracle of Ages, I admired the tropical theme and started thinking about recipes that involved pineapple and other tropical fruits. I also like the flavors of sweet and sour, but it is hard to find at a restaurant that is gluten free. So with all of this in mind, I give you Crescent Island Tropical Meatballs - Enjoy!

Gear!
1 1/2 lb ground beef
3/4 c GF bread crumbs
1/2 c finely minced onion
1 egg
1 t course salt
1/4 c milk
1/2 t freshly grated ginger
2 T cornstarch
1/2 c dark brown sugar
1 can pineapple chunks, in juice
1/3 c white vinegar
1 T tamari or GF Soy Sauce
1/2 c sweet peppers, chopped

Quest!
Note: This is the stove top version of this recipe, but this can easily be transferred to a slow cooker application. Enjoy!
