1 large egg
¼ cup finely grated parmesan cheese
2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
1 tsp dried oregano
½ tsp kosher salt
¼ tsp black pepper
Ingredient note
Black pepper can trigger interstitial cystitis symptoms in some people, but the small amount in this recipe (~1/8 tsp per serving) is likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid black pepper, please tap it and change its rating to Red.

2 tbsp olive oil
3 medium carrots, peeled and diced
3 stalks celery, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
10 cups chicken broth
1 cup gluten free small pasta (such as ditalini or orzo-style)
4 cups escarole, roughly chopped
1 tsp kosher salt, plus more to taste
¼ tsp black pepper, plus more to taste
Ingredient note
Black pepper can trigger interstitial cystitis symptoms in some people, but the small amount in this recipe (~1/8 tsp per serving) is likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid black pepper, please tap it and change its rating to Red.

For serving

parmesan cheese, freshly grated, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, ground beef, gluten free breadcrumbs, egg, Parmesan, parsley, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix with your hands until just combined — do not overwork. Roll into 1-inch balls (you should get about 36) and arrange in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
