I was absolutely blown away when I saw the final draft of the book. The recipes are incredibly creative and the photos are gorgeous. It’s one of those e-books that you will definitely want to have printed – it’s that good! I flipped through and started making a list of all the recipes I wanted to try – before I knew it I had half the book jotted down. I could only pick one to share with you, so today I’m bringing you a sneak peak from Andrea Wycoff of Forest and Fauna – Swedish Meatballs & Mushroom Gravy. You can find the recipe below!

I’m super excited to have contributed 5 recipes to the book, including a brand new book exclusive – Pineapple & Mango Chicken Thighs! They are a tropical delight and perfect over cauliflower rice.

prep 15 mins
cook 20 mins
total 35 mins
yield 6-8 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef

  • 1 lb ground pork

  • 1/4 cup minced fresh parsley (divided)

  • 2 TBS dried minced onion

  • 1 tsp dried sage

  • 1/2 tsp ground mace

  • 1/2 tsp sea salt

  • 2 cups of sliced mushrooms (button or crimini)

  • 1 large onion, chopped

  • 1/2 cup bone broth (or coconut milk, or water)

  • 3 TBS coconut aminos

Instructions

  1. In a bowl mix together ground beef, pork, 3 tablespoons minced parsley, dried onion, sage, mace, and salt. Once thoroughly mixed, form into meatballs about 1-inch in diameter.

  2. Place mushrooms, onion, broth/coconut milk/water, and coconut aminos into the Instant Pot. Add the meatballs.

  3. Close and lock the lid. Press the MEAT/STEW button and set cooking time to 35 minutes. Once the time is up, quick release the pressure.

  4. Using a slotted spoon gently remove the meatballs and transfer to a serving platter.

  5. Using an immersion blender or a high speed blender, puree the cooked mushrooms, onions, and broth into a nice creamy gravy. If the gravy is too thick, add a little more bone broth/coconut milk/water until the right consistency is reached.

  6. Pour gravy over meatballs and garnish with remaining tablespoon of minced parsley. This dish makes a wonderful appetizer as is, or main course when served over spaghetti squash, cauliflower rice, sautéed veggies, or warm zucchini noodles.

Notes

Substitute: 1/4 cup red wine or 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar/balsamic vinegar for the coconut aminos, if needed
