¼ cup full-fat coconut milk
½ small yellow onion, grated
Ingredient note
Cooking often breaks down the heat-sensitive proteins that trigger oral allergy syndrome, so the cooked yellow onion in this recipe is likely tolerated by many with OAS. If unsure, consult your doctor. To always avoid yellow onion, tap it and change its rating to Red.
2 cloves garlic, minced

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.
