Sweet and Sour Meatballs

• 1/2 lb ground beef
• 1 Tbs Dijon mustard
• 1 egg yolk
• 1/4 tsp salt and pepper
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• 1/2 c rolled oats
• 2 Tbs olive oil

In a small bowl combine all ingredients until just combined. Form into 1 inch meatballs and fry in a large skillet in the olive oil until all sides are golden. Remove and set aside.

• 1/2 c sliced carrots
• 1/2 c red bell peppers, sliced
• 8 oz can pineapple chunks, juice reserved
• 1 c orange juice
• 2 Tbs soy sauce
• 2 Tbs corn starch
• 1/4 tsp ground black pepper

In the hot skillet with the remaining oil left from cooking the meat saute the carrot and peppers until almost tender. While that is cooking stir together the juices, soy sauce, corn starch and pepper, set aside. Once the veggies are cooked put in the meatballs and the pineapple and warm through together for a minute. Stir in the sauce and continue stirring until it is thickened and glossy. Serve over white rice.
