Servings2 servings

Ingredients

• 8 oz organic, grass-fed ground beef or lamb
• 1 tbsp freshly ground coriander seeds
• 1 tsp ground ginger
• 1 handful cilantro leaves
• 2 tbsp Bulletproof Grass-Fed Ghee (or coconut oil, divided)
• 2 medium sweet potatoes
• 2 tbsp coconut aminos
• 4 radishes (trimmed and thinly sliced)
• 1 green onion (sliced, green portion only)

Instructions

• In a wide glass mixing bowl, add pork, ground coriander, ginger, and half of the cilantro leaves. Mix well and form into 1 to 1.5-inch meatballs.
• Heat a wide saucepan on medium heat. Add half of the Ghee or coconut oil.

• With meatballs still in the pan, add remaining coconut oil and spiralized sweet potato to the pan.
• Sauté sweet potato noodles alongside the meatballs for 8 minutes, or until softened and pork is cooked through.
• Remove noodles from the pan and plate.
• Add coconut aminos to the pan. Toss the pan to coat the meatballs.
• Plate meatballs on top of sweet potato noodles and garnish with radish, green onion, and remaining cilantro. Spoon any remaining pan juices over the top.
• Season to taste with salt and serve with a wedge of fresh lemon or lime.
