Caveman Cuisine: Cavemanalicious Meatballs

 

Meat + balls = Cavmanalicious

Ingredients: 

2lb 80/20 ground meat (I used ground venison, so I had to add some pork sausage to get the fat content up)

3 cups organic chopped frozen spinach (defrosted and pressed in a colander to remove excess water)

Pinch sea salt and fresh ground black pepper

2 tbsp butter

1 tbsp avocado oil (coconut oil would work too)

2 cloves garlic (riced)

1/4 medium white onion (grated)

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.

In a large bowl, combine ground meat, spinach, sea salt/pepper, garlic and onion.  Form into meatballs approximately the size of a racquet ball.  

In an oven safe pan, melt butter and avocado oil over medium heat.  Add the meatballs and brown on both sides (~3-4 minutes per side).  Put the pan in the oven and cook for an additional 15-20 minutes.

Serve with a generous helping of Celery Root Au Gratin and a nice salad.

Yield: ~12 and I promise I won't say cavemanalicious again.
