Magic Meatballs For Vegetable Hating Folks

Directions

1. 1
   Place the onion and garlic into a food processor and process until chopped.
2. 2
   Add into the processor the kale, cabbage and parsley and process until a fine chop.
3. 3
   Add the avocado and process until you have a smooth mixture.
4. 4
   Add both meats to the processor and pulse until combined.
5. 5
   Turn the processor to on and sprinkle in through the top the Southwest seasonings and process until combined.
6. 6
   Test the mixture by frying up a teaspoon full in a frying pan with a little paprika and chili powder sprinkled on top.
7. 7
   If you like taste you are done.  If not keep adding the seasonings until you do.
8. 8
   Now you can make your meatballs any size you want but I wouldn’t go too big.  Brown them in a pan with the coconut oil and sprinkled with the paprika and chili.  This is an important step.  First the browning for flavor and the red spices to keep the meatballs from looking too green.
9. 9
   I choose to do this in my new Ninja cooker so I could then put the lid on, turn it from Stovetop to Oven mode , 400 degrees for 10 minutes, and cook this all in just one pan.
10. 10
    If you don’t have a Ninja brown them before you put them into the oven to bake at 400 degrees for 15-30 minutes.
11. 11
    When the meatballs are done sprinkle with the salt before serving.
