Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground venison
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.25 cup Almond flour
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.25 cup Onion, grated
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground venison, egg, Parmesan cheese, and almond flour.
Add the minced garlic, grated onion, chopped parsley, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper to the bowl.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly using your hands until everything is well incorporated.
Using your hands, form the mixture into meatballs about the size of a golf ball, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the meatballs to the skillet in batches, and sear them on each side for about 2-3 minutes until they are browned.
Transfer the meatballs back to the baking sheet once they are seared.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the meatballs for 15 minutes, or until they are cooked through.
Remove the meatballs from the oven and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve the meatballs hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired, as a main dish or as delightful appetizers.
