Description
A delicious low carb and gluten free meatball recipe inspired by the traditional Canadian meat pie Tourtiere.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb. ground pork
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp ground cloves
- 1/4 tsp ground allspice
- 1 tsp Bells Poultry Seasoning
- 1 tsp minced fresh sage (optional)
- 1 Tbsp dried onion flakes
- 12 pimento stuffed green olives
- Your preferred oil for frying
Instructions
- Combine all of the meatball ingredients (except for the olives and oil) in a medium bowl. Mix thoroughly. Divide the mix into 12 equal portions. Take each and flatten into a disk in the palm of your hand. Place an olive in the center, then fold and form the meat around it, shaping with your hands until it’s round. Repeat with all twelve. Heat oil in a nonstick pan and fry the meatballs until golden brown and cooked through – about 3 – 4 minutes per side. Enjoy!
