Ingredients
Keto Meatballs
- 500 g ground/minced pork
- 500 g ground/minced beef
- 1 onion finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 egg medium
- ¼ tsp salt to taste
- pepper to taste
Sweet and Sour Sauce
- ½ tsp extra virgin olive oil
- 3 slices ginger minced 1/4 tsp ground ginger
- 80 ml tomato sauce no sugar added
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp coconut aminos
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp granulated sweetener of choice or more to your tastes
- 125 ml water
- ½ tsp xanthan gum or thickener of choice
Instructions
Keto Meatballs
- Place all the ingredients into a large mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly with your hands, or a spatula.
- Grab a golf ball size of the meatball mix, squeeze together, then form into a meatball shape. Continue until all the meatballs are prepared.
- You can cook these keto meatballs two ways. 1) Fry gently in oil on all sides until cooked into the centre. 2) Bake in the oven at 180C/350F for 15 minutes (turning once so they brown all over) for 15 minutes, or until cooked into the centre.
Sweet and Sour Sauce
- Heat the oil in a saucepan. When the oil is hot add the ginger. Let it sauté a few seconds until fragrant.
- Add all the remaining ingredients into the pan except for the xanthan gum. Let the sauce simmer for 3-5 minutes to allow the ginger flavor to infuse into the sauce then remove the ginger from the pan and discard.
- Whisk in the xanthan gum into the sauce to thicken. When the sauce has thickened add the cooked meatballs to the sauce and toss until all the meatballs are coated. Serve and enjoy!
