Paleo Recipe: Grass Fed Meatballs with Zucchini Spaghetti
This is my favorite paleo recipe right now. We are starting to get a ton of Zucchini from the garden so I make it about once per week. Besides it being good for you and tasting amazing, I think I love it so much because it is one of those “newer” paleo meals that I have made.
Mom never made this when I was growing up, and sometimes food can become boring and you just need something different for a change. This is the perfect paleo recipe to shake things up a bit in the kitchen.
Grass Fed Meatballs with Zucchini Spaghetti:
Ingredients:
- 1 lb grass fed ground beef
- Handful parsley
- 1 clove garlic
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 2-3 small to medium zucchini
- 2 tbsp organic unrefined coconut oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 jar of your favorite tomato sauce or canned or fresh tomatoes
Instructions:
- Combine beef, parsley, garlic, and onion (no breadcrumbs – these are paleo meatballs!) and form into round balls any size you wish. Fry in coconut oil in a frying pan over medium heat until desired cooking level is achieved. (Feel free to add an egg if it isn’t binding well.)
- Peel zucchini. Using a peeler, shred the zucchini into long thin pieces using a peeling style similar to when you peeled the outside of the zucchini. Add the zucchini to a frying pan with coconut oil. Cook zucchini for only about 3 minutes. You really just want to warm it up. Season to taste.
- Add tomato sauce of choice to the frying pan with zucchini and warm through.
- Plate the meal and add sea slat, pepper to taste.
