Ingredients
For Meatballs
- 2 pounds ground beef (preferably grass fed)
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 4 chia eggs (or eggs if you can tolerate them)
- 1/2 cup onion (finely chopped)
- 2 teaspoons mustard powder
- 1 tablespoon parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
For Mushroom Sauce
- 8 ounces fresh mushrooms (sliced)
- 1 cup onion (finely chopped)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional - see Recipe Notes)
- 14 ounces coconut milk (most cans hold about this amount)
- 2 tablespoons butter (divided; you can also use coconut oil)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
For Meatballs
- In a bowl, mix all ingredients until well combined.
- When using the chia seed egg substitute, sometimes my mixture comes out too dry. If that happens, simply add a teaspoon of water at a time until you've reached the right consistency.
- Shape into 1-inch balls.
- Place the meatballs in a large skillet, with 1 tablespoon of coconut oil. Cover and cook meatballs, turning them frequently, until cooked through. About 20-30 minutes, for me.
For Mushroom Sauce:
- Saute mushrooms and onions in 1 tablespoon of the butter / coconut oil until vegetables are tender.
- Combine cornstarch with coconut milk and stir into vegetable mixture.
- Add remaining butter / coconut oil, salt, and pepper. Simmer, stirring frequently, for about 15 minutes.
- When serving, pour the mushroom sauce over meatballs (but it would be great on veggies, or potatoes as well!).
Notes
- Any egg substitute can be used instead of the eggs. Chia Seed Egg Replacer is a good option. This Powdered Egg Replacer would work well too.
- You can use organic arrowroot instead of cornstarch, but do not use either if you cannot tolerate either of them. For a low-carb option of the sauce, either omit all together or substitute organic glucomannan.
