This bite-sized recipe is protein-packed, and they sneak in the added benefit of being high-fiber from our Ground Lupin Bean in place of traditional breadcrumbs.
Ingredients:
- 1 small shallot, finely diced
- 2 cloves of garlic, grated
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp chili powder
- 1 ¼ tsp kosher salt
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup Carrington Farms Plain Ground Lupin Bean, cooked
- 2 tbsp Carrington Farms Organic Ghee
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- 3-4 green onions, chopped
Directions:
-
In a large bowl, gently stir together the first 7 ingredients just until everything is well combined. Scoop mixture into 2 teaspoon sized portions and roll them into meatballs. Place on a plate or lined baking sheet.
-
Heat Carrington Farms Organic Ghee in a large saucepan set over medium heat. When the ghee is hot, place meatballs in a single layer on the bottom of the pan, working in batches if needed. Cook meatballs for 5-7 minutes, flipping occasionally until deeply browned on all sides. Remove the meatballs from the pan and repeat with the remaining meatballs.
-
When all of the meatballs have been browned, strain off half of the oil and return the pan to the heat. Add the bbq sauce to the pan and use a spoon to scrape up all of the browned bits on the bottom of the pan.
-
Add the meatballs back to the pan with the bbq sauce and bring to a simmer. Cook for 10-15 minutes, until sauce is bubbly and meatballs are cooked through.
-
Garnish with chopped green onions and serve warm.
