-
1 sweet onion
-
garlic (5x cloves), chopped
-
1 carrot, chopped
-
450g organic grass fed ground beef
-
450g organic ground pork
-
100g natural ketchup
-
1 tbsp organic molasses
-
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
-
50g Italian parsley, chopped
-
100g gluten-free herbed bread crumbs
-
¼ tsp cinnamon
-
1 tsp fine sea salt
-
1 tsp olive oil
-
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper
-
Toss the onion, garlic and carrot pieces into a food processor and pulse until the texture is very finely diced - set aside
-
In a large mixing bowl, briefly stir together the ground beef and pork
-
Add in the processed onion, garlic and carrot mixture, ketchup, molasses, balsamic vinegar, parsley, gluten-free bread crumbs, sea salt and pepper flakes - mix gently to combine, (try not to over-mix or it makes a dense meatball)
-
Rub a little olive oil on your hands and form the meatball mixture into balls (roughly the size of golf balls)
-
Place them on the lined baking sheet - you should end up with about 20-24 balls
-
Bake the meatballs in the centre of the preheated oven for about 30 minutes until done (no longer pink in the centre)
-
You could also fry the meatballs in a large skillet, using olive oil, but this method makes less healthy meatballs
-
Makes about six servings, which can be eaten hot or cold
Tips
Smaller meatballs cook faster, so if your meatballs are smaller, check them at 20 minutes
