Whether you're following a Paleo diet or simply looking to enjoy a nutritious version of a beloved comfort food, these dumplings deliver bold flavors and wholesome ingredients in every bite!
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, chopped chives, coconut aminos, minced garlic, minced ginger, salt, and pepper. Mix well with your hands or a spoon until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
In another bowl, mix almond flour and tapioca starch. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and water together.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the egg and water mixture. Stir until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more almond flour.
Divide the dough into small balls, about the size of a tablespoon, and roll each one into a circle on a piece of parchment paper.
Place a small spoonful of the beef mixture in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over to form a half-moon shape, pinching the edges to seal completely.
In a large skillet, heat coconut oil over medium heat.
Cook the dumplings in batches, frying each side for about 3-4 minutes until browned and the beef is cooked through.
Serve hot as an appetizer or main dish.
