Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground venison
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 cup Dairy-free breadcrumbs
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, ground
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Vegan Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Thyme, dried
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground venison, chopped onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, egg, and chopped parsley.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper. Mix until all the ingredients are well combined without over-mixing.
Form the mixture into 1-inch meatballs, using approximately 2 tablespoons of the mixture for each meatball.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the meatballs in batches, ensuring they do not overcrowd the pan.
Brown the meatballs on all sides, about 5 minutes total, and remove them from the skillet.
In the same skillet, add coconut milk, Dijon mustard, vegan Worcestershire sauce, and dried thyme.
Stir the sauce until well combined, and bring it to a slight simmer.
Return the browned meatballs to the skillet, ensuring they are coated in the sauce.
Cover the skillet and allow the meatballs to cook in the sauce for an additional 15 minutes or until cooked through.
Serve the meatballs hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
