Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Yield: 5 Servings
Ingredients:
Swedish Meatballs
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 large onion, minced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 large egg
- 2 slices gluten free bread turned into bread crumbs (or store-bought) replace the breadcrumbs with almond meal or if you can't have nuts: some grated vegetables like sweet potatoes, carrots or cauliflower
- 3 tbsp Almond milk
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp rosemary dried and crushed
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp coriander
- 3 tbsp avocado oil
Swedish Meatballs Directions
- Saute onions and garlic in oil.
- Toast and ground the gluten free bread into bread crumbs with a food processor.
- To the sauteed onions and garlic, add the bread crumbs, egg, milk, seasonings, the ground beef and the ground turkey.
- Mix well to combine, then roll into evenly sized meatballs.
- Place on a baking sheet (I used 2 oblong glass baking dishes) and repeat until all meatball mixture is used.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 425F for 20 minutes. The high temperature will give the meatballs a nice brown color on the surface.
Sauce Ingredients
- 4 tbsp butter
- 4-5 tbsp cassava flour or arrowroot powder
- 3 cups chicken stock or beef stock
- 1 tbsp stone ground mustard brown
- 1 cup coconut cream
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp coconut aminos
- 0.5 tsp pink salt
Sauce Directions:
- Melt butter.
- Add cassava flour and cook and whisk until golden brown and bubbly, about 3 minutes.
- Slowly pour in half of the chicken stock.
- Whisk vigorously; mixture will thin out as the remaining stock is whisked in.
- Add the rest of ingredients.
- Increase heat to medium and whisk until thickens a bit.
- Remove the meatballs from the oven and pour the dairy free sauce in the same baking dish where the meatballs were baked.
- Return to the oven for another 5-10 minutes to warm them up.
- Serve over mashed spiralized veggies, mashed potatoes, mashed cauliflower
