Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground beef
- 60 grams almond flour
- 1 large egg
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 30 grams fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 60 ml coconut oil
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, almond flour, egg, minced garlic, chopped onion, fresh parsley, salt, and black pepper.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly with your hands until well combined.
Shape the mixture into approximately 16-20 meatballs, depending on your desired size.
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully add the meatballs to the skillet, ensuring they are spaced evenly.
Fry the meatballs for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure all sides are browned and they are cooked through.
Once cooked, remove the meatballs from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
Serve the meatballs immediately with your choice of Paleo-friendly sauce or side dish.
