Description

Ingredients

• ½ cup cooked, mashed, and cooled yuca
• 1 pound ground beef
• ½ pound ground pork
• 2 tablespoons finely minced onion
• 2 garlic cloves, crushed or finely minced
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• salt
• ¼ cup coconut oil

Directions

• In a large bowl, use your hands to combine yuca, meats, onion, garlic, oregano, and about ½ teaspoon salt. Try to distribute the yuca evenly, but it is ok if some clumps stay together.
• Shape into meatballs about 1 inch in diameter (recipe should make about 20 meatballs).
• In a large skillet, heat coconut oil over medium low heat.
• Working in batches if necessary, fry meatballs until well browned on all sides. This will take about 20 minutes altogether. TIP - Do not start turning the meatballs until they have cooked for about 5 minutes. This will allow a nice brown crust to begin to form.
• Serve plain or with your favorite sauce as an appetizer, or simmer in your favorite red sauce and serve over a pasta substitute like zucchini noodles or spaghetti squash.
