ITALIAN SAUSAGE MEATBALLS WITH FRESH HERBS


I love Italian Sausage Meatballs, they are delicious and I have been craving for them for while so I think I will make some this week ;) Here is the Recipe.. Enjoy!!!!


INGREDIENTS
▪ 1 lb100% grass-fed ground beef (or bison)
▪ 1 lb sweet Italian sausage
▪ 2 cloves garlic, minced
▪ 1 sprig fresh rosemary, minced
▪ 3 sprigs fresh thyme, minced
▪ 1 long sprig fresh oregano, minced
▪ 1/4 cup roughly chopped flat leaf parsley
▪ 1/2 small yellow onion, roughly chopped
▪ 1/2 cup almond meal
▪ 2 eggs, whisked
▪ tsp red pepper flakes
▪ A few grinds black pepper
▪ 1/4 cup cream (optional)
▪ 1/2 cup finely shredded parmesan (optional)
▪ 1/4 cup bacon fat


DIRECTIONS
Remove the Italian sausage from its casing. Mix all of the ingredients, except bacon fat, together until well
combined. With lightly oiled hands, roll the meatballs into the desired size.
To cook, heat bacon fat in a saute pan over medium to medium-high heat. Once hot, add the meatballs. Fry
5–7 minutes, until bottom is browned.
Turn meatballs to opposite side and fry until that side is nicely browned, another 5–7 minutes. Cut one open
to determine if it is fully cooked on the inside. If not quite done, turn heat to low and cover pan for a few more
minutes or put meatballs in a warm oven while you fry another batch.
