Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground venison
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 large egg
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground venison, almond flour, Parmesan cheese, and egg.
Add the minced garlic, chopped parsley, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to the meat mixture.
Mix all the ingredients together using your hands until they are well incorporated.
Shape the mixture into golf-ball-sized meatballs and place them on a plate.
Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the meatballs to the skillet in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
Cook the meatballs until they are browned on all sides, about 5 minutes.
Transfer the skillet with the meatballs to the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until cooked through.
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the meatballs rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the meatballs warm, garnished with additional chopped parsley if desired.
