Sweet n’ Sour Meatballs

Ingredients

• 3.5 oz/ 100 grams of grass fed ground beef
• 3.5 oz or up to 5.5 ounces of wilted spinach
• Chicken or Beef Broth
• 1 tablespoon minced onion
• 1 clove of garlic crushed and minced
• 1 serving of a crunchy carb that makes bread crumbs (or about 2-3 tablespoons)
• Pinch of garlic powder
• Pinch of onion powder
• Pinch of cayenne pepper
• ¼ cup lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Bragg liquid aminos
• 1/2 packet of Stevia to taste
• Green Onions/ Scallions (optional)
• Everything But The Bagel Spice (optional)

Preparation

1. Start by mincing the onion and 1 clove of garlic.
2. Combine the 3.5 oz of ground beef with garlic, minced onion, "bread crumbs" and spices. Form this mixture into 5-6 meatballs.
3. Heat up a small saucepan on medium-high heat.
4. Start the deglazing process by pouring in a bit of chicken or beef broth, letting it cook down. Add more broth to create flavor on your pan.
5. Add the lemon juice, Bragg Aminos, and stevia to taste.
6. Add your meatballs to the sauce. Let them cook on one side until brown and flip- about 8-10 minutes
7. Deglaze the pan periodically with beef or imagine chicken stock to create a rich sauce.
8. Take out the meatballs and add spinach to the pan letting it wilt.
9. Serve the spinach, topped with the meatballs.
10. Add chopped green onion/ scallion and Everything But The Bagel Spice if you'd like extra flavor! Enjoy!

Optional Ideas

• You can add in a bit of Xanthan Gum to make your sauce a bit thicker. Just a dash- not too much.
• You can make these meatballs with ground chicken or turkey.
