4 star :: interesting color but amazing flavor!!! keto-paleo-whole30
First, the marinate is key. In a food processor, pulse together:
1/3 large red onion 4-6 cloves garlic 1/3 cup of pistachios Fresh parsley (I used 1/3 cup dried and 2 cups power greens)
Add 2 lbs of ground beef (or a mixture of beef/ lamb) to a large bowl. Recommend 80/20, especially if grilling. Top the beef with the marinade. 1/4 tsp salt 1 tbsp smoked paprika 1.5 Teaspoons cumin 1.5-2 tbsp sumac (I used oregano) 1.5 tsp ground pepper
Form into 3” finger size logs and fry in avocado oil on medium heat. 3 min per side.
Mixed reviews. Some loved it 5 star, some thought it was ok 3 stars, 3.5 star. It has an earth rich flavor and the only critique from me is it didn’t hold together as well when picking up. I would add 2 Tb egg powder to help solidify the meatballs (beef finger foods).
