AMAZING MIND BODY KETO MEATBALLS
INGREDIENTS
1/2 lb 85% lean ground beef (I use organic AND grass-fed)
1/2 lb ground pork (again, organic where possible)
1oz/~30g pork rinds/cracklings/scratchings
1oz/~30g/1/4 c almond flour
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
Big pinch salt
1 Tablespoon Omnivore Sicilia or tomato paste
1 egg
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 375ºF.
Combine pork rinds, almond flour, dried herbs, and salt in a food processor and pulse until a homogenous “breadcrumb” mixture is achieved.
Transfer to mixing bowl with beef, pork, egg, and tomato paste/Sicilia. NOTE: you can use one type of meat here, or more types – just keep the total to 1lb. Mix well until there are no dry pockets.
Using a 1oz portion scoop or simply a tablespoon, divide the meat into ~20 pieces and place on a parchment paper-lined tray. Roll between your hands to form smooth balls.
Bake for 10 – 15 minutes, until firm yet springy to the touch.
Remove from oven, top with sauce, and enjoy!
Alternately, you can simmer these babies overnight in low-sugar sauce like Rao’s for an even deeper flavor experience. Super yummy!
