Ingredients

4 servings

For the meatballs

1 lb ground beef (80/20)
½ lb ground pork
¼ cup cassava flour
¼ cup full-fat coconut milk
½ small yellow onion, grated
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ tsp ground ceylon cinnamon
¼ tsp ground ginger
¼ tsp ground turmeric
1 tsp fine sea salt
2 tbsp coconut oil

For the gravy

2 tbsp arrowroot starch
2 cups bone broth
½ cup full-fat coconut milk
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
¼ tsp ground ceylon cinnamon
¼ tsp fine sea salt, or to taste

For serving

2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, cassava flour, 1/4 cup coconut milk, grated onion, garlic, Ceylon cinnamon, ginger, turmeric, and 1 tsp salt. Mix with your hands until just combined — the mixture should hold together when pressed but not feel dense or overworked.
2
Roll the meat mixture into balls about 1 1/2 inches in diameter (roughly 1 heaping tablespoon each), placing them on a plate as you go. You should get about 22–24 meatballs.
