Method

For meatballs, combine ground pork, egg, garlic, onion, breadcrumbs, thyme, paprika, salt and pepper in a medium bowl.


Form into teaspoon-size balls (you should have about 20).


Heat about 1/4 inch of oil in a heavy skillet.


When oil is hot but not smoking, dust meatballs lightly with flour and brown evenly on all sides. Remove from heat, drain and set aside.


For sauce, heat olive oil in another pan and cook garlic, onion and peppers.


Add broth and cook 10 minutes.


Add meatballs to sauce and cook, turning often until sauce thickens and meatballs are cooked through, about 10 minutes more.
