For the meatballs:

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 pound ground pork
• ¼ cup almond flour
• ½ medium onion, minced
• 1 teaspoon garlic salt
• ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
• 2 eggs
• 2 tablespoons fresh Italian parsley
• ½ teaspoon allspice
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• olive oil (for sautéing)

For the sauce:

• 1 cup chicken stock (or beef or pork stock)
• ½ cup nut milk
• ½ cup cashew cream – see how to make it here
• pinch salt and fresh ground pepper

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, almond flour, minced onion, garlic salt, nutmeg, eggs, parsley, allspice, and Worcestershire sauce. Add the optional finely chopped red bell pepper, if using. Mix gently until just combined.
2. Shape into approximately 32 meatballs, about 1½ inches wide.
3. Heat a thin layer of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Brown the meatballs in batches for 6–8 minutes, turning gently to brown several sides. Transfer to a plate; they will finish cooking in the sauce.
4. Leave approximately 1 tablespoon of fat in the skillet and drain any excess. Add the stock, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom. Simmer for 2–3 minutes.
5. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Stir in the unsweetened nut milk and cashew cream until smooth. Season with a little salt and freshly ground black pepper.
6. Return the meatballs and any collected juices to the skillet. Cover and simmer gently for 8–12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the meatballs reach 160°F (71°C) in the center.
7. Uncover and simmer briefly if the sauce needs thickening. If it becomes too thick, stir in a splash of stock or water. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
8. Garnish with fresh Italian parsley and optional grated Parmesan. Serve over cauliflower rice, zucchini noodles, or drained shirataki noodles.

Servings: 8 — approximately 4 meatballs with sauce per serving.
