Made with ground lamb and pork, these keto-friendly meatballs come together in 45 minutes using the Instant Pot! Serve with homemade dairy-free tzatziki.
1cupcoconut yogurt(or sub 1/2 cup full fat coconut milk and 1/2 cup mayo)
2clovesgarlic, peeled
1/2cupfresh dill
1tbsplemon juice (about 1/2 lemon)
1/2tspsalt
1/4tsp pepper
Instructions
Place the onion, mushrooms, garlic, parsley and mint leaves in a food processor. Pulse until everything is finely chopped. Don't overprocess as it will turn too mush. Alternatively, you can finely dice these ingredients. Note: You'll use your food processor again to make the Tzatziki sauce.
Place ground beef and pork in a large bowl. Add in the chopped veggies, almond flour, oregano, salt and pepper. Mix everything with your hands until ingredients are incorporated.
Place the trivet in the bottom of your instant pot and add in 1 cup of water. Form the mixture into medium sized meatballs and stack them on the trivet in the instant pot. This recipe will make about 20 medium meatballs.
Secure the lid of the Instant Pot and close the pressure valve. Press the “Manual” button or "Pressure Cook" and cook on high pressure for 10 minutes.
Allow the pressure to naturally release for 15 minutes and then quick release any remaining pressure.
While the meatballs are cooking, prepare the sauce. Peel and cube the cucumber and squeeze the chunks in a paper towel to get rid of any excess liquid (this will help to prevent the sauce from too getting watery).
Rinse out your food processor and dry. Place the cucumber and all other sauce ingredients into the food processor. Process into a smooth consistency. Place in a jar or container and refrigerate until served.
When safe to do so, remove the lid and serve meatballs. Drizzle the tzatziki sauce over meatballs for serving.
