Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground pork
- 0.25 cup Almond flour
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Onion
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 2 teaspoons Coconut aminos
- 0.75 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons Avocado oil
Instructions
Finely dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, almond flour, egg, diced onion, minced garlic, parsley, coconut aminos, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Mix gently until all ingredients are evenly combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can make the meatballs tough.
Using your hands, shape the mixture into meatballs about 1.5 inches in diameter. This recipe will make approximately 16 meatballs.
In a large skillet, heat the avocado oil over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the meatballs to the skillet, ensuring they are evenly spaced without overcrowding. If necessary, cook in batches.
Sear the meatballs for about 2-3 minutes per side until they develop a golden-brown crust.
Lower the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and continue cooking the meatballs for another 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 160°F (70°C).
Remove the meatballs from the skillet and let them rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with your favorite Paleo-friendly dipping sauce, zucchini noodles, or roasted vegetables.
