N O U R I S H • Save this recipe for later mamas! We absolutely love this delicious recipe.
Ingredients:
- 500g. protein of your choosing: Organic ground grass-fed beef, bison, turkey, chicken, or a combination
- Vegan option: cooked lentils or beans, smashed well with a fork
- 2 Tbsp flaxseed meal (ground flaxseeds) + 5 Tbsp water
- 1-2 tsp avocado oil
- 6-8 mushrooms, finely chopped
- ½ small yellow or white onion, finely chopped
- 2-3 large handfuls fresh organic spinach or any leafy green, chopped
- 2-3 cloves fresh garlic, finely chopped or pressed through a garlic press
- Fresh herbs: small handful parsley or basil (or both), finely chopped
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- ½ cup organic gluten-free rolled oats, pulsed in a blender for a few seconds until course breadcrumb consistency is achieved
- ½ tsp sea salt + fresh cracked pepper to taste
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 190.5° C. TIP: If you have a food processor, use it to pulse your onion, garlic and veggies and save a lot of time chopping!
- In a cup or mug, mix the flax seeds and water well, and let sit while you prepare your other ingredients (or at least for 5-10 minutes)
- Warm avocado oil in a large pan over medium heat, then add onions and sauté for 2-3 minutes with a pinch of salt. Add mushroom and sauté for another ~4 minutes. Then add spinach and garlic and sauté 1-2 more minutes or until the greens have wilted.
- Transfer your cooked veggie mixture to a large bowl and combine with your raw ground meat or cooked and mashed lentils or beans, pulsed oats, flaxseed “gel”, salt, pepper, and fresh or dried herbs.
- Form into bite sized meatballs and arrange on a parchment lined baking sheet. Recipe should yield 30-40 meatballs depending on the size of each.
- Bake for 12-18 minutes, depending on size of meatball. For small meatballs, I bake for 8 minutes, then flip them, and bake for another 5-10 minutes.
