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.

500g grass-fed beef or lamb mince

1 onion, finely diced

2-4 garlic cloves, crushed (if you're like us then you'll add even more)

a good pinch or three of Changing Habits Seaweed Salt

2 Tbsp Fresh or dried herbs, we used rosemary

freshly ground pepper to taste

2-3 tsp Changing Habits Turmeric Powder

Changing Habits Coconut Oil for cooking with

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!

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 🙂

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.
