Instructions
Meatballs
In a large mixing bowl, combine all the meatball ingredients, kneading with your hands.
Then mold the meatballs to about the size of a golf ball. Place the meatballs on a hot grill and cook until they reach at least 165 F. on a meat thermometer. Note that this may be a bit easier to do in a grill pan.
Sauce
While the meatballs cook, combine all the sauce ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.
When the meatballs are done, serve them with sauce drizzled over the top or in a side dish for dipping.
