Ingredients
- 9 oz lean ground beef 250g
- 9 oz ground pork 250g
- 1 small yellow onion very finely chopped (60g)
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 3 tablespoon parsley chopped (11g)
- 1 medium egg
- 1 tablespoon coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon ground allspice
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
SAUCE
- 3 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups beef or chicken broth
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon xanthan gum or ground chia
- ¼ teaspoon Dijon mustard
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon Coconut aminos
- Good pinch of nutmeg and allspice to taste
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, add the beef, pork, onion, garlic, parsley, egg, coconut flour, salt and spices. Mix to combine and roll into meatballs.
- In a large non-stick pan, heat the olive oil and fry the meatballs on a medium heat until browned on all sides. About 5 - 6 minutes. Note: It’s best to do this in two batches so as not to overcrowd the pan and so the meatballs cook evenly. Remove the meatballs from the pan..
- Add the butter to the skillet. Once you see bubbles, add the xanthan gum or ground chia and whisk using a hand whisk to combine. Add the stock/broth and the rest of the sauce ingredients and whisk again. Last, whisk through the cream.
- Cook for about two minutes, then add the meatballs back into the pan and cook for a further 6 - 8 minutes until the sauce has thickened up and the meatballs are cooked through.
Notes
- Net carbs: 3.3g per serve. Makes 4 servings.
- Top with 2 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley.
- Serve over cauliflower mash, cauliflower rice, zucchini noodles or steamed low carb vegetables like green beans and broccoli.
- For a dairy-free version, use coconut cream instead of the heavy cream.
- Substitutions for the coconut flour: 3 tablespoons almond flour or 3 tablespoons crushed pork rinds.
- Storage: Fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freezer for 3 months.
