Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork
- 0.5 medium, finely chopped onion
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 1 large egg
- 0.25 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup, chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, almond flour, fresh parsley, coconut aminos, ground black pepper, and sea salt.
Mix the ingredients gently with your hands until thoroughly combined. Do not overwork the mixture as it can make the meatballs tough.
Using a tablespoon or a small ice cream scoop, portion the meat mixture and roll into balls. Aim for uniform size to ensure even cooking.
Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the meatballs to the skillet, ensuring they’re not crowded. Sear the meatballs for about 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally until they are browned on all sides.
Transfer the skillet with the meatballs to the preheated oven.
Bake for 10-15 minutes or until the meatballs are cooked through (internal temperature should reach 160°F/71°C).
Remove the meatballs from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm, garnished with additional fresh parsley if desired.
