Zesty Ginger Meatballs

Zesty ginger meatballs
I got to relax and enjoy some quiet time after work yesterday, and prepped for a super busy week ahead. Part of that included making these scrumptious zesty ginger meatballs with some goodies I had left in the fridge. The meatballs turned out incredible and taste so vibrant. The fresh ginger is key and I don’t recommend going the powdered route for this recipe. Don’t skimp on it either. If you like things spicier, leave some of the jalapeño seeds in or add a dash of cayenne for extra heat.

Last week was such a whirlwind and it’s hard to believe it’s over. My mom came and stayed with me from Michigan while Jesse went for a visit back home. I was working still while she was here, but we were able to do a lot with my flexible schedule. We had lots of good eating, laughs, conversations and sights. It was loads of fun and we made lots of good memories. To be honest, it was weird coming home from work yesterday and not seeing her. I got so used to that and it was definitely nice.

Enjoy!

Zesty Ginger Meatballs

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb grass-fed ground beef
  • 2 large cloves garlic, minced
  • 1.5 inch piece ginger, grated
  • 1 small jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped
  • 1/2 lime, juiced
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt or to taste
  • Black pepper to taste

Directions:

  1. Mix all the ingredients together by hand in a large mixing bowl. Form into heaping tablespoon-sized balls (or size of choice) and place on a foil or parchment paper lined baking sheet.
  2. Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for 20 minutes or until cooked through.
  3. Once done, serve as desired. I recommend serving with fresh salsa, avocado and sautéed greens.

    Looks delicious! These would probably be fabulous on some spaghetti squash and some thai sauce. Mmmm.
