Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g ground beef (grass-fed)
- 1 medium, finely chopped onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp, finely chopped fresh parsley
- 3 tbsp almond flour
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp, for frying coconut oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, and parsley.
Add the almond flour, egg, smoked paprika, ground cumin, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly using your hands or a spatula until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Form the mixture into small patties, each about 7-8 cm (3 inches) in diameter and 1.5 cm (0.6 inches) thick. You should have approximately 10-12 patties.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the coconut oil.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the patties in the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd it. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the patties are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve warm with your choice of Paleo-friendly sides, such as roasted vegetables, guacamole, or a fresh salad.
