Ingredients:
Meatballs
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1 large egg(s) beaten
- 1/3 cup unseasoned pork rind crumbs 1-ounce
- 1 tablespoon coconut aminos or soy sauce
- 1 green onion minced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
Sauce
- 1/2 medium red bell pepper diced
- 1/2 medium green bell pepper diced
- 1 serving Beef Soup Keto Chow stirred into 1/2 cup/4 fluid ounces warm water
- 3 tablespoons sugar-free apricot jam
- 2-3 tablespoons granulated erythritol
- 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos or soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar
- 1-2 drops red food coloring optional
Directions:
- Mix the ground pork, egg, pork rind crumbs, tablespoon coconut aminos, green onion, garlic powder, onion powder, ground ginger, and white pepper together in a large mixing bowl.
- Shape the mixture into 16 meatballs, about a tablespoon and a half each. A small ice cream scoop will help make them all the same size.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the avocado oil.
- When the oil is hot, add the meatballs in a single layer, if they don’t all fit without crowding the pan, brown them in two batches. Cook them, turning them to brown on all sides.
- When all the meatballs are browned, remove them from the pan and hold aside on a dish
- Add the diced bell peppers to the pan and cook them until they begin to brown lightly.
- Add the Keto Chow, apricot jam, two tablespoons erythritol, soy sauce and vinegar. Stir well and bring to a low simmer. Taste the sauce and add the third tablespoon erythritol if desired.
- Place the meatballs back in the pan, cover the pan and cook on low heat until the meatballs are cooked through, about ten more minutes. When they are fully cooked, they should register 165F on a meat thermometer placed in the center of a meatball.
The meatballs and sauce will stay fresh in the refrigerator up to three days and in the freezer for up to three months.
