It seems like only a few years ago, it felt like finding resources that fit your personal dietary needs was HARD work; like you just couldn’t find what you needed. And now, we are so fortunate! Whether you are seeking paleo, keto, low-carb, low FODMAP, or AIP recipes, you are covered.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
    (see Tips)

  • 1 tablespoon red curry paste

  • 2 to 3 dashes of fish sauce

  • Grated zest of 1 lime

  • 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves

  • 1/4 cup minced green onions (about 1 green onion)

  • 1 teaspoon grated or minced garlic (about 2 cloves)

  • 1 teaspoon sea salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon ginger powder

  • 1 pound ground pork (see Tips)

  • 1 pound ground chicken or turkey, preferably dark meat for the best flavor (see Tips)

FOR GARNISH (OPTIONAL)

  • Chopped fresh cilantro leaves
  • Sesame seeds
  • Sliced green onions

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  2. In a small mixing bowl, combine the coconut aminos, red curry paste, fish sauce, lime zest,  cilantro, green onions, garlic, salt, and ginger powder. Stir to mix well.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken and pork and mix well with your hands. Add the marinade and use your hands to mix it with the meat until well combined. Form the meat mixture into twenty-four meatballs (about 1 1/3ounces each) and place on a rimmed baking sheet.
  4. Bake for 20 minutes, or until cooked through.
  5. Remove the meatballs from the oven and garnish with cilantro, sesame seeds, and green onions, if desired. Serve with cauliflower rice.

TIPS

If you use Big Tree brand coconut aminos, use less salt.

You can also use 2 pounds of one type of ground meat if you prefer. In that case, I recommend using ground pork for the best flavor.

    Do you have the dietary information for this recipe? I’m wondering about the macros since I’m keto.

    I don’t have ginger powder. Instead can I use grated ginger? And if so, how much?
    I was telling my wife about these and she said please make them…. thus my question.

      I think a teaspoon of grated ginger would be plenty

About

Jennifer is a wife and mother of 3 in pursuit of better health for her family.
After being gluten free for 4 years, and having a multitude of chronic health issues, she realized there was still too much processed “food” in her pantry and change was needed. Jennifer began feeding her family more meals from WHOLE foods and less from boxes. Her recipes are predominantly paleo, meaning they are free of grain, gluten, dairy, and refined sugar, but make allowances for a few treats and sweets. She believes food can be medicine when used appropriately and that a few changes now can equate to huge benefits later. Healthy food does not need to be flavorless and void of personality, which she aims to accomplish through her many recipes.
