▢ 2 slices (2 slices) ginger minced
▢ 60 ml (¼ cups) white vinegar
▢ 125 ml (½ cups) chicken stock or broth
▢ ¼ teaspoon (¼ teaspoon) ground allspice
▢ 1 teaspoon (1 teaspoon) coconut aminos
▢ ½ teaspoon (½ teaspoon) xanthan gum or thickener of choice

Instructions

Keto Meatballs

Place all the ingredients into a large mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly with your hands, or a spatula.
Grab a golf ball size of the meatball mix, squeeze together, then form into a meatball shape. Continue until all the meatballs are prepared.
You can cook these keto meatballs two ways. 1) Fry gently in oil on all sides until cooked into the centre. 2) Bake in the oven at 180C/350F for 15 minutes (turning once so they brown all over) for 15 minutes, or until cooked into the centre.

Spicy Garlic Sauce

Chop the red fresco chilies, ginger, and garlic together in a food processor until finely chopped.
Melt butter in a skillet. Add the chopped chilies, ginger, and garlic from the food processor. Saute until it is fragrant then add all the remaining sauce ingredients to the pan except the xanthan gum.
Let the sauce simmer for 3-5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Then whisk in the xanthan gum to thicken the sauce. When the sauce has thickened add the cooked meatballs to the sauce and toss until all the meatballs are coated. Serve and enjoy!
