If you're short on time, then these beautiful meatballs are so quick and easy to whip up. You can also add in some extra grated carrot or zucchini and perhaps an egg (if tolerated) to act as a binding agent. Get creative with your use of herbs and spices and feel free to use any combination you love.
Combine meat, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, spices and herbs together in a bowl and mix well with your hands.
Heat a large frying pan on a medium heat and add some coconut oil and allow it to melt so it covers the pan.
Begin rolling the meat into bite sized balls and place them onto the frying pan, spacing them out evenly. Cook on all sides until golden.
Remove the meatballs and place them onto a plate to rest and continue cooking the rest of the meat until it has been completely used up.
When they're ready serve with steamed or roasted veggies or a side salad. You can also caramelise some garlic and onions and serve that on top of the meatballs for some additional flavour!

It would be great to have serving sizes on this recipe as I always worry I won’t make enough for the family.
Cater 100g (any meat) per person and that will leave a few for lunch boxes – if you limit their meat intake. I’d do 1kg of meat, cook and freeze for a family of 4, but it would be best to have 2 frying pans going for the meatballs.
Are the quantities right in this recipe??
Hi Chris, there was an error with some of the quantities, but we’ve fixed it all up now. Thanks so much for double checking 🙂
