Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 0.5 lb Ground pork
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.25 cup Almond flour
- 1 large Egg
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp Dried oregano
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 medium Red onion, cut into chunks
- 2 medium Bell peppers, assorted colors, cut into chunks
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, grated Parmesan cheese, almond flour, egg, minced garlic, chopped parsley, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Use your hands to mix the ingredients together until thoroughly combined, but do not overwork the mixture as it can become tough.
Roll the mixture into 1.5-inch meatballs, yielding about 16-18 meatballs.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the meatballs onto skewers, alternating with pieces of red onion and bell pepper chunks. Ensure the skewer is not tightly packed to allow even cooking.
Brush the skewers lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking and to give a nice char.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the meatballs are cooked through and the vegetables are tender with slight grill marks.
Serve the skewers warm, either directly from the skewer or with a side salad for a more complete meal.
