Ginger Meat Balls
Place 2 teaspoons of chopped spring onion and 1 teaspoon of orange peel into a small bowl. Cover and reserve for garnish.
Into a second bowl, place venison, breadcrumbs, egg, remaining spring onions, garlic, ginger, remaining peel and salt. Mix well with your hands to combine.
Working with about a tablespoon of mixture at a time, form mince into 32 3cm balls.
Leave in refrigerator overnight, or proceed to cook.
Place oil into a heavy-based frypan set over a medium heat. When oil is hot, add half the meatballs, or so that they are in one layer with space between each. Brown on all sides for 2-3 minutes.
Put on a warm plate and cover with a heavy tea towel. (Meatballs will be cooked further in the glaze.)
Brown remaining meatballs in the same way. Return all browned meatballs to frypan.
Pour Orange Glaze over meatballs and stir to thoroughly coat. Reduce heat to low. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes or until meatballs are cooked and glaze is glossy.
Skewer and serve hot, sprinkled with reserved garnish.
