INSTRUCTIONS
Prep Time 10 min Cook Time 40 min
Preheat the oven to 375F. In a large bowl mix together all meatball ingredients with your hands. Using an ice cream scoop, tbsp or hands shape meat into 1-2 inch sized balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper + bake for 25-30 min.
While they bake make the sauce + rice.
Sauce: In a wok or skillet over medium heat add up to 1 tbsp coconut oil, chopped peppers and onions. Sautee for 2 min and add in all remaining sauce ingredients, mix thoroughly. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer for 8-10 min, stir occasionally. Set aside.
While the sauce and meatballs are cooking prep the rice in a pot or skillet over medium heat. Add all rice ingredients, stir occasionally until soft and warm. Should prob take 5-8 min. Set aside.
Once meat balls are done, its time to plate! I like to add rice first, meatballs and then top with sauce. left overs can be stored in an air tight container for up to 5 days.
Mishi Tips:
If you have a garlic and onion intolerance (like me) you can omit. Try substituting onions with leeks and garlics with garlic oil.
Not a fan of peppers or have an intolerance you can use any veggies you like, such as broccoli, mushrooms and snap peas.
To cut the cook time in half bake the meatballs for 8-10 min on broil (500F).
