Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground pork
• 1/4 cup Almond flour
• 1 large Egg
• 3 cloves (minced) Garlic
• 1/2 small (finely diced) Yellow onion
• 2 tbsp (chopped) Fresh parsley
• 1 tsp Dried oregano
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1/2 tsp Black pepper
• 2 tsp Coconut aminos
• 2 tbsp (for frying) Avocado oil

Directions

Step 1

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, almond flour, egg, minced garlic, diced onion, chopped parsley, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

2. Add the coconut aminos to the mixture to enhance the umami flavor. Mix the ingredients well using clean hands or a large spoon until evenly incorporated.

Step 3

3. Form the mixture into evenly sized meatballs, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter. You should get approximately 16-18 meatballs.

Step 4

4. Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the meatballs in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.

Step 5

5. Sear the meatballs for 2-3 minutes on each side until they develop a golden-brown crust.

Step 6

6. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until the meatballs are cooked through (internal temperature of 160°F).

Step 7

7. Remove the meatballs from the skillet and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 8

8. Serve the meatballs warm with your favorite Whole30-compliant side dish, such as cauliflower rice, zucchini noodles, or a fresh salad.
