Wet your hands before forming the meatballs to keep the pork mixture from sticking to them.
Ingredients
Meatballs
1/2 pound ground pork
1 egg
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
Canola or sunflower oil for frying
Flour for dusting
Sauce
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoons each chopped onion and piquillo pepper
3/4 cup chicken broth
Note: I subbed roasted red peppers for the piquillo pepper as I couldn't find them here.
I would also use smoked paprika next time.
Preparation
For meatballs, combine ground pork, egg, garlic, onion, breadcrumbs, thyme, paprika, salt and pepper. Form into teaspoon-size balls (you should have about 20). Heat about 1/2 inch of oil in a heavy skillet. When hot, dust meatballs with flour and brown evenly on all sides. Remove, drain and set aside.
For sauce, heat olive oil in another pan and sauté garlic, onion and peppers. Add chicken broth and cook 10 minutes. Add meatballs to sauce and cook for 10 minutes, turning often until sauce thickens and meatballs are cooked through.
