Description

Ingredients

• 2 pounds ground meat (I used beef and pork)
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1 TBS coconut flour (like this)
• 1 tsp unrefined sea salt (I use this brand)
• ¼ cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
• 1 TBS fresh ginger, grated
• a few grinds of fresh pepper
• 1 TBS arrowroot powder (like this)
• ¼ cup water
• ½ cup coconut aminos (like this brand)
• ½ cup good quality homemade broth
• 1 TBS fresh ginger, grated
• 2-3 cloves garlic, crushed
• ½ tsp unrefined salt
• 2 TBS toasted sesame oil (like this)
• 2 TBS apple cider vinegar (like this)
• 4 TBS raw honey
• sesame seeds
• cilantro

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350F. Liberally oil a baking rack with coconut oil or ghee and place on top of large baking sheet. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine ground meat, eggs, coconut flour, salt, cilantro, grated ginger, and pepper. Mix until well combines. (I use my hands here.)
• Using moistened hands, form the meat mixture into 40 small meatballs and place onto prepared baking rack. Bake for 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the sauce. Start by combining ¼ cup of water with arrowroot powder. Set aside.
• Add coconut aminos, broth, ginger, garlic, and salt to a saute pan. Bring to a simmer and simmer for about 4 minutes to reduce. Add arrowroot mixture and cook for a minute or 2, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy. Turn off heat and stir in the sesame oil, vinegar, and honey .
• Add the baked meatballs to the sauce and stir to coat evenly. You will have to do this in batches. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to serving platter. Pour remaining sauce over meatballs on platter, if you like. Garnish with sesame seeds and cilantro. Serve warm.
