Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 0.5 pound Ground pork
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.25 cup Almond flour
- 1 large Egg
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef and ground pork.
Add the grated Parmesan cheese, almond flour, egg, minced garlic, and fresh parsley into the meat mixture.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper.
Mix all the ingredients together until they are well combined.
Shape the mixture into 1-inch meatballs using your hands. You should be able to make about 20-24 meatballs.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the meatballs to the skillet in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry the meatballs for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Once cooked, remove the meatballs from the skillet and drain on a paper towel lined plate to absorb excess oil.
Serve the meatballs hot with your favorite low-carb dipping sauce or over a bed of leafy greens.
