This recipe for Paleo Italian Meatballs is a tasty and grain-free take on a traditional favorite. These flavor-filled meatballs, which are ideal for a Paleo diet, are made with a combination of ground meats and almond and coconut flour.

Ingredients: 1 lb ground beef. 1/2 lb ground pork. 1/2 lb ground veal or use more beef if unavailable. 1/4 cup almond flour. 1/4 cup coconut flour. 1/4 cup finely chopped onion. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped. 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped. 1/4 cup fresh oregano, chopped. 1/4 cup grated Paleo-friendly Parmesan cheese. 1 large egg. 1/2 tsp salt. 1/2 tsp black pepper. 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes optional. 1/4 cup olive oil for frying.

Instructions: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, pork, and veal. Add almond flour, coconut flour, chopped onion, minced garlic, parsley, basil, oregano, grated Parmesan cheese, egg, salt, black pepper, and optional crushed red pepper flakes. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until well combined. Form the mixture into golf ball-sized meatballs and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Carefully add the meatballs to the hot skillet and brown them on all sides until cooked through, about 10-12 minutes. Once cooked, transfer the meatballs to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve the Paleo Italian Meatballs with your favorite Paleo-friendly marinara sauce or over zucchini noodles for a grain-free meal.
