Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Ground pork
- 1 large Egg
- 60 g Almond flour
- 50 g Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 0.5 medium Onion (finely grated)
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 tsp Dried oregano
- 1 tsp Sea salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 2 tbsp Olive oil (for cooking)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, egg, almond flour, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, grated onion, parsley, oregano, salt, and pepper.
Using clean hands, gently mix the ingredients until evenly combined, being careful not to overmix, as this can make the meatballs dense.
With damp hands, form the mixture into 20 evenly sized meatballs (approximately 1.5 inches in diameter). Place the meatballs on a plate or tray as you shape them.
Heat a large frying pan or skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the meatballs in the pan, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Cook the meatballs in batches if necessary.
Sear the meatballs for 2–3 minutes on each side, turning them gently with tongs or a spatula to brown evenly.
Lower the heat to medium-low, cover the pan with a lid, and let the meatballs cook for an additional 6–8 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 71°C (160°F).
Remove the cooked meatballs and allow them to rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the meatballs as is, or pair them with a sugar-free marinara sauce, zucchini noodles, or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
