Meatballs with Keto Peanut Satay Sauce

These Meatballs with Keto Peanut Satay Sauce are Gluten Free & Paleo. They’re smothered in a Mildly Spicy Thai Peanut Curry Sauce. The delicious meatballs make a Great Keto Appetizer that’s perfect for Game Day or a Tasty Dinner, served with a side of Veggies and Cauliflower Rice.

To make these Meatballs with Keto Peanut Satay Sauce, you blend the curry paste in a small pot with the liquid from the coconut milk. Once it’s fully combined, add the cream from the can of coconut milk. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then add the peanut butter, sweetener and vinegar to the pot. Stir constantly until it begins to boil again. Let simmer on low for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.

Preheat oven to 400 F. In a large bowl mix the ground beef with the crushed pork rinds, the egg, garlic powder, onion powder and salt and pepper. Then, line a lasagna pan or cookie sheet with tin foil. Roll out small, one inch meatballs. Place the meatballs in the pan, and bake for 10 minutes. Pour off any grease then turn your oven to broil. Bake for another 8 – 10 minutes, turning a few times if needed.

Transfer the cooked meatballs to a smaller baking dish, then cover them with 3/4 of the keto peanut sauce. Bake for another 5 – 10 minutes. Serve on their own with the remaining sauce as a dip, or serve as a side with cauliflower rice and steamed veggies.

Meatballs with Keto Peanut Satay Sauce

This Incredibly Simple Recipe for Meatballs with Keto Peanut Satay Sauce is really easy to make. The sauce can be whipped up in a few minutes. It’s so tasty, you’ll want to add it to your regular dinner rotation. I’ve used the tasty sauce for a number of dishes, including chicken smothered in peanut sauce and as a dipping sauce for my favourite gluten free spring rolls. The sauce is slightly spicy but is mild enough for my 10 year old to eat.

If you haven’t heard of The ketogenic diet (often called keto), it’s a very low-carb, high-fat diet that shares similarities to paleo, Whole30, and Atkins. It involves drastically reducing carbohydrate intake, and replacing it with fat. When your body switches to burning fat for its primary fuel source, that’s when you hit ketosis. While on the Keto diet you’re supposed to get at least 70 percent of your calories from fat, 15 to 25 percent from protein, and 10 percent from carbohydrates. You’re supposed to avoid all grains, legumes, root vegetables, fruit, (except berries) and sugar.

Meatballs with Keto Peanut Satay Sauce

Ingredients

For the Keto Peanut Satay Sauce:

1 1/2 Tbsp Red Curry Paste

1 Can Coconut Milk

5 Tbsp Natural Peanut Butter

3 Tbsp White Vinegar

1 Tbsp Granulated Sweetener (I used this one)

For the Keto Meatballs:

1 1/2 lbs Ground Beef (750 g)

1/2 Cup Pork Rinds

1 Egg

1 Tsp Garlic Powder

1 Tsp Onion Powder

Salt and Pepper

Directions

For the Keto Peanut Sauce:

1. Blend the curry paste in a small pot with the liquid from the coconut milk. Once it’s fully combined, add the cream from the can of coconut milk. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then add the peanut butter, sweetener and vinegar to the pot. Stir constantly until it begins to boil again.

2. Let simmer on low for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.

For the meatballs:

1. Preheat oven to 400 F. In a large bowl mix the ground beef with the crushed pork rinds, the egg, garlic powder, onion powder and salt and pepper. ( If using salted pork rinds you shouldn’t need to add much more salt)

2. Line a lasagna pan or cookie sheet with tin foil. Then roll out, small one inch meatballs. Place the meatballs in the pan, and bake for 10 minutes. Pour off any grease then turn your oven to broil. Bake for another 8 – 10 minutes, turning a few times if needed.

3. Transfer the cooked meatballs to a smaller baking dish, then cover them with 3/4 of the keto peanut sauce. Bake for another 5 – 10 minutes. Serve on their own with the remaining sauce as a dip, or serve as a side with cauliflower rice and steamed veggies.

Recipe Notes:

– If serving as an appetizer, try placing the meatballs on a larger pan with some space between them. This will help make them a little prettier.

– Placing your coconut milk in the fridge before using will help separate the cream from the liquid. Also opening the can upside down will make separating it easier.

– Adding a few crushed peanuts to the sauce with add a little texture.

– If using salted pork rinds you won’t need to add much salt.

– For a non low carb peanut satay sauce, replace the sweetener with 3 Tbsp of brown sugar.

– For a bit less spicy sauce, add 1 Tbsp of the curry paste instead of 1 1/2.

– If you don’t have tin foil, just use an unlined baking pan.

Cut the butter and cream cheese into 1/2 inch squares. Place them into the crockpot, dotted throughout. Cover and cook on high for 1 1/2 hours.

Keto Crockpot Broccoli Soup

Here’s a Fantastic Keto Crockpot Broccoli Soup Recipe that tastes just like the Cheese Sauce my Mom used to make. It’s a great way to get picky eaters to eat their veggies. It’s loaded with Broccoli and Delicious Cheddar Cheese. For something a little more flavorful, try adding a little Havarti or Provolone along with the cheddar. Another way I add flavor to my soups is by switching the butter out for bacon grease. This Recipe can be made with Veggie Stock or Even Water in place of the Chicken Broth, if Preferred. I make my own Chicken Broth, so that means I need to add quite a lot of Salt. If you’re using store bought broth you may not need to add any Salt at all.

Keto Fathead Stuffing

September 29, 2018 by officially gluten free 7 Comments

Keto Fathead Stuffing

This Easy Gluten Free & Keto Fathead Stuffing is the Perfect Low Carb Side Dish for the Holidays!!! It Tastes Just Like Traditional Bread Stuffing But Is Made With a Mozzarella Cheese Based Dough. It’s an Easy To Make Dough That’s So Versatile. If you haven’t Tried Fathead Dough Yet, You’ve Been Missing Out! It’s Amazing!!! It Makes an Awesome Keto Pizza Crust , Fathead Nacho Chips or can be used to Make Tasty Keto Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls.

How to Make Homemade Keto Stuffing

To make this delicious keto fathead stuffing, you melt the shredded mozzarella and the cream cheese in a frying pan over medium heat. (This step can also be done in a microwave) Remove from the heat, then stir the melted cheeses until they’re well combined. Using a mixing bowl, add the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, xanthan gum and eggs to the cheese mixture. Mix until well combined.

Between 2 pieces of parchment paper, press the dough into a rectangle. Remove the top piece of parchment paper, then brush the top with the melted butter. In a small bowl combine the garlic and onion powder with the basil. Sprinkle it over the spread out dough. Bake the low carb stuffing for 10 minutes.

Remove the keto stuffing from the oven, then cut into small 1/2 inch squares. Place the the squares into a mixing bowl, then add the minced onion and celery. Add 1/2 a cup of the drippings or broth and mix until very well combined. Bake for 10 minutes, then stir and add the remaining drippings. Bake for another 10 – 15 minutes, stirring a few more times throughout.

Keto Fathead Stuffing

This Keto Fathead Stuffing tastes just like traditional stuffing. The dough is really easy to make and can be thrown together in a few minutes. It’s so Good… You’d Never Even Know it’s Low Carb Stuffing. I like to serve my Keto Stuffing with a side of Cauliflower Mash, Steamed Low Carb Veggies, Keto Gravy and of Course a Delicious Roast Turkey or Chicken. I like to Make my Keto Stuffing Made in a Pan, Rather then Stuffing it into the Turkey. It’s just personal preference. I prefer it to be on the drier side. This Stuffing can be stuffed in the turkey as well but will make a more for a more moist consistency.
