Garlic-ginger meatballs in pepper sauce

A prime example on how to use up leftover ingredients.

Ingredients
1 pound ground meat
1 egg
0.25 cup breadcrumbs
1 tsp ground ginger
3 cloves of garlic
0.5 tsp black pepper
salt
1 yellow onion
1 large bell pepper
1 can beef broth
0.5 cup water
1 tbsp vegetable oil
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp vinegar
0.5 tsp sugar

Preparation
Slice the onions into strips. Caramelize in a large skillet with the vegetable oil. Meanwhile, mix the ground meat with the spices and form 0.75 inch diameter balls. Place onto a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Bake in a 400F preheated oven for 20 minutes.

When the onions caramelized, add the broth, the salt and the sliced bell pepper. Simmer for 30 minutes. Add the meatballs and vinegar, and cook for 10 more minutes, stirring occasionally.

I served this with cooked lentils drizzled with lemon juice.
