Meatballs with pineapple

This is a recipe I made long ago for the first time, back in 2007. But I like to make it as an easy and fast lunch. The combination with pineapple and bell pepper is really great. I published it originally in Dutch, but now I translated it to English.

Ingredients (2 portions):

• 250 grams of minced beef
• 2 small onions
• 1 clove of garlic
• breadcrumbs
• 1 egg
• 1 large green bell pepper
• one can with pineapple cubes

Method:

• finely chop the onions.
• cut the bell peppers into fine strips.
• Let the pineapple cubes drain.
• Mix the minced beef with one finely chopped onion, the egg and two tablespoons of breadcrumbs.
• Add spices (pepper, salt, …) to taste.
• Make meatballs out of the mixture (10 to 15).
• Roll the meatballs into the breadcrumbs, until they are covered on all sides.
• Heat the olive oil in the wok.
• Add the garlic.
• Fry the meatballs for 7 minutes until they are all brown
• Add the second finely chopped onion and the peppers.
• Bake for another 3-4 minutes.
• Add the pineapple cubes and let it warm up completely.
• Serve in a deep bowl with rice.
