Paleo Recipe: Grass Fed Meatballs with Zucchini Spaghetti

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: 

1. 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.)
2. 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.
3. Add tomato sauce of choice to the frying pan with zucchini and warm through.
4. Plate the meal and add sea slat, pepper to taste.
