Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 0.5 pound ground pork
• 0.5 cup onion, finely chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 large egg
• 0.25 cup almond flour
• 0.25 cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, and egg.

Step 3

Add almond flour, fresh parsley, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to the mixture.

Step 4

Use your hands to gently mix everything until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can result in dense meatballs.

Step 5

Form the mixture into meatballs roughly 1.5 inches in diameter—you should get about 16-20 meatballs.

Step 6

In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.

Step 7

Once hot, add the meatballs to the skillet in a single layer, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.

Step 8

Brown the meatballs on all sides, about 5 minutes total.

Step 9

Transfer the skillet with browned meatballs to the preheated oven.

Step 10

Bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatballs reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 11

Remove the meatballs from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
