Instructions
- MEATBALLS:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil (nonstick if you have it). Set aside.
- To a large mixing bowl, add all meatball ingredients and use your hands to mix until thoroughly combined.
- Use a 1" cookie scoop and roll the meat mixture into balls. Alternatively, you can just shape them into golfball sized balls.
- Place on prepared baking sheet and bake for 13-15 minutes.
- POLYNESIAN SAUCE:
- In a mixing bowl, add the brown sugar, pineapple juice, vinegar, soy sauce and cornstarch, and whisk to combine.
- Heat a little olive oil in a large skillet over MED heat. Add ginger and garlic and saute for 1 minute. Pour in sauce and simmer.
- Reduce heat to MED-LOW and add the partially baked meatballs to the sauce. Simmer for 5 minutes and roll the meatballs around in the simmering sauce every so often.
- JICAMA AND SUGAR SNAP PEA SLAW:
- To a large bowl, whisk together the mayo, pineapple juice, lime juice, and vinegar until combined. Add in chopped slaw ingredients and toss together. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- SWEET CHILI PINEAPPLE MAYO:
- Add all ingredients to a small bowl and whisk together to combine. Set aside.
- TO MAKE THE SLIDERS:
- Slice rolls in half lengthwise, spread sweet chili pineapple mayo on the bottom half, lay the sliced pineapple on top of the mayo.
- Top pineapple with several meatballs that are coated in the Polynesian sauce, and sprinkle pepper jack cheese over the top.
- Spread a new piece of foil on the baking sheet and place slider bun bottoms on the baking sheet. Broil for several minutes, until cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
- Top the sliders with a bit of the slaw, spread more mayo on the top half of the bun and add it to the top to finish your slider
