These are great – and versatile – meatballs. I served mine with a quick red pepper sauce, crisped potato rounds and cukes one day, a simple veggie pasta the next, and tucked into a pita with tzatziki sauce the third. Delicious any way you slice it.

Umami Meatballs
1 lb. ground beef
4-6 cloves garlic, minced
1 small onion, minced
4 ounces mushrooms, minced
Salt & pepper
2 tsp. mushroom powder (optional)
Another good meat spice – I used a red Georgian blend, but your favorite would be fantastic here
Combine ingredients and roll into ping pong sized balls. Cook as you like to cook meatballs – I did mine a touch small and air fried them for 10 minutes.
Red Pepper Sauce
2 roasted red peppers (jarred)
3 sundried tomatoes (jarred)
3 Tbsp. peanut or other nut butter (or sunflower!)
2 tsp. lemon juice
2 tsp. garlic powder
Salt & pepper
Blend to combine.
Serves 3 – 4.
