INSTRUCTIONS:
Meatball Instructions:
- Add all ingredients to a big bowl and mix with your hands until thoroughly combined. You can use a utensil, but it is so much easier to mix with your hands.
- To shape the meatballs, you can either use your hands and roll them into a ball or an ice cream scooper. They aren't perfect balls, but they are good enough for me!
- Add avocado oil to a pan (or your preferred oil) and set to medium. Once hot, add in your meatballs and brown on all sides.
- Always check the temp with a thermometer. Once cooked to temp, add them to a serving dish with a lid to keep them warm while you make the dip.
Garlic Dill Dip Instructions:
- Add all ingredients to a mixing bowl and mix until well combined.
- Taste and adjust accordingly.
Putting the Recipe Together:
- The meatballs are excellent on their own, but you can also make it a complete meal with our olive relish and turmeric garlic rice.
- Enjoy!
