Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 lb ground pork
  • 1/4 cup minced fresh parsley (divided)
  • 2 tablespoons dried chopped onion
  • 1 teaspoon dried sage
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground mace
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 cups sliced mushrooms (button or crimini)
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 1/2 cup bone broth (or coconut milk, or water)
  • 3 tablespoons coconut aminos

Preparation

Step 1

In a bowl, mix together ground beef, pork, 3 tablespoons minced parsley, dried onion, sage, mace, and salt. Once thoroughly mixed, form into meatballs about 1-inch in diameter.
Place mushrooms, onion, broth/coconut milk/water, and coconut aminos into the Instant Pot. Add the meatballs.
Close and lock the lid. Press the MEAT/STEW button and set cooking time to 35 minutes. Once the time is up, quick release the pressure.
Using a slotted spoon gently remove meatballs and transfer to a serving platter.
Using an immersion blender or a high-speed blender, purée the cooked mushrooms, onions, and
broth into a nice creamy gravy. If the gravy is too thick, add a little more bone broth/coconut
milk/water until the right consistency is reached.
Pour gravy over meatballs and garnish with remaining tablespoon of minced parsley. This dish makes a wonderful appetizer as is, or main course when served over spaghetti squash,
cauliflower rice, sautéed veggies, or warmed zucchini noodles.
