Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1½ lb. ground pork (may substitute ground turkey or chicken)
  • ¼ cup almond flour (may sub oat flour or bread crumbs if not Whole30)
  • 1¼ tsp. garlic powder
  • 1¼ tsp. onion powder
  • ¼ tsp. black pepper
  • ¾ tsp. salt
  • ¼ cup thinly sliced green onions, plus more for garnish
  • ⅓ cup ketchup*
  • 8 oz. crushed pineapple, in juice
  • 2 Tbsp. water
  • 3 Tbsp. rice vinegar (may substitute apple cider vinegar)
  • ½ tsp. garlic powder
  • ½ tsp. dried ginger
  • 1 Tbsp. arrowroot starch**

Instruction

  • Combine ground pork, almond flour, garlic and onion powders, salt, pepper, and sliced green onions in a bowl. Mix to combine and divide meat mixture into 18-20 meatballs (about 1 Tbsp. each). 
  • Place a large skillet over medium-high heat (medium if using cast-iron). When the pan is hot, add meatballs in a single layer. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until lightly browned all over. 
  • While meatballs are cooking, combine all sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Stir well to dissolve starch. 
  • When meatballs are browned on all sides, add sauce and stir to coat each meatball. Bring sauce to a simmer and cook for 7-8 minutes or until sauce is thickened and meatballs are cooked through. Sprinkle with additional green onions and serve.
