Description

These savory meatballs offer a delightful culinary experience, ideal for a satisfying meal any day of the week. Crafted with care, these meatballs feature a blend of ground pork, infused with the fragrant essence of rosemary, the smoky allure of paprika, the pungent bite of garlic, and a subtle hint of lemon zest. The combination creates a depth of flavor that is both comforting and intriguing.

Once formed, the meatballs are gently simmered in a vibrant sauce, built upon a foundation of ripe, chopped tomatoes. Spanish chorizo lends its distinctive character to the sauce, with its robust, spiced flavor and smoky undertones. Thinly sliced red onions contribute a delicate sweetness, softening as they cook and melding seamlessly with the other ingredients.

Chicken stock enriches the sauce, adding depth and complexity. As the meatballs simmer, they absorb the flavors of the sauce, becoming tender and succulent. The chorizo releases its natural oils, imparting a rich, savory essence that coats the meatballs and elevates the entire dish.

The aroma alone is enough to entice, promising a culinary experience that is both comforting and satisfying. These meatballs are incredibly versatile and can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. Serve them over a bed of zucchini noodles or shredded cabbage for a lighter meal, or pair them with cauliflower rice for a heartier dish.

A slice of crusty bread is perfect for soaking up the flavorful sauce, ensuring that no delicious drop goes to waste. Whether enjoyed as a light lunch or a satisfying dinner, these meatballs are sure to please.

Instructions

    1.
    Add the ground pork, paprika, lemon zest, and a good pinch of salt and pepper to a mixing bowl. Finely chop the rosemary and garlic. Add the rosemary and garlic to the bowl and mix everything well with your hands.
    2.
    Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over a medium/high heat. Divide the meat mixture into 16 even-sized portions and roll each portion into a ball. Add the meatballs to the skillet and cook until browned all over. Remove from the skillet with a slotted spoon and set to one side.
    3.
    Add the half tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Roughly dice the chorizo. Add the chorizo to the skillet and pan-fry over a medium heat until browned all over and releasing its oils. Remove from the skillet with a slotted spoon and set aside with the meatballs.
    4.
    Finely dice the onion and add to the skillet. Sweat gently for a few minutes until tender and fragrant. Add the chopped tomatoes, stock, salt and pepper. Stir well to combine and bring up to a boil.
    5.
    Reduce the sauce to a simmer. Return the meatballs and chorizo to the skillet, stir well. Continue to simmer for a further 10 minutes or until the sauce has reduced down and the meatballs are cooked through. Serve hot with your preferred Keto sides.
