Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground beef
- 250 grams Ground pork
- 60 grams Almond flour
- 1 Egg
- 120 ml Heavy cream
- 240 ml Beef broth
- 120 ml Unsweetened almond milk
- 30 grams Unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground allspice
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoons Onion powder
- 1 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, almond flour, egg, ground allspice, ground nutmeg, salt, black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Shape the mixture into meatballs approximately 1 inch in diameter.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the meatballs in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Brown the meatballs on all sides, about 5-7 minutes per batch.
Once all the meatballs are browned, transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes, ensuring the meatballs are cooked through.
In the meantime, prepare the gravy. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the beef broth, heavy cream, and almond milk to the saucepan. Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Simmer the gravy for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
Remove the meatballs from the oven and pour the prepared gravy over them in the skillet.
Return the skillet to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Garnish the meatballs with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your keto-friendly Swedish meatballs!
