Gluten Free Side Dishes

Gluten Free Mama’s Meatballs

For the seasoned stock mix:
½ cup GF chicken broth
½ Large sweet Onion
4 cloves garlic
½ bunch parsley, chopped

Place all ingredients above in blender or food processor and puree.

For the meat balls:
¾ lb ground beef
¾ lb ground pork
½ cup Gluten free breadcrumbs
5 whole eggs
½ cup freshly grated parmigiano cheese
2-3 pinches chili flakes
2-3 pinches salt

In a large bowl, combine all ingredients with broth mix and blend with hands just until mixture is uniform.

Put a little olive oil on hands and form mixture into approximately 2 oz. balls.

Pour about ½ inch of extra virgin olive oil into a straight sided, wide sauce pan and heat over medium high flame. Add the meatballs to the pan and brown meatballs, turning once.

Using a slotted spoon, remove meatballs from the oil and submerge into a saucepan of marinara. Simmer for 30 minutes or until the meatballs are cooked through and tender. Serve as is or over Gluten Free pasta or just by themselves!
