Hidden Liver Meatballs
Nutrivore Score: 1501
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 pound beef liver
- 3/4 cup fresh parsley finely chopped
- 6 cloves garlic crushed
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
- 3/4 teaspoon salt or to taste
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 3 tablespoons arrowroot powder (or more tablespoons if needed)
- 1 large onion finely diced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Mix ground meat and seasonings (everything except the onion and the arrowroot powder) in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour, up to 24 hours.
- Heat skillet over medium-high heat and then add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add diced onion and cook until soft and starting to caramelize. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Preheat oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix cooled onion and arrowroot powder into the meat mixture. Form meatballs with your hands (whatever size you like, I usually make 2” meatballs because it’s less work) and place on prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes (15 minutes for 1” meatballs, 20 minutes for 2” meatballs, or until internal temperature reaches 160F).
