Ingredients for keto Swedish meatballs
Meatballs:
- 1 lb ground meat –Ground is the main ingredient of these keto meatballs. To increase the amount of protein and reduce the fat, we recommend that you use a leaner cut ground beef. This is not only great for you but it will also help to keep the calories down.
- 1 chopped onion –Onions can be used to enhance any recipe with a simple, low-cost way to add flavor. We recommend that you use a small amount of red onion for this meatball recipe.
- Finely chopped 2 cloves garlic –Garlic is an essential ingredient in many recipes. This pantry staple should be included in these keto meatballs.
- 1/4 cup almond flour –Almondmeal is a low-carb, gluten-free flour that can be used in place of breadcrumbs. Almond flour is different than almond meal so ensure you use almond meal. They have very different textures and almond flour won’t produce the desired texture for meatballs.
- 1 teaspoon saltSalt can be used in many recipes as a classic spice. You can add salt to your keto meatballs prior to serving.
- 1/2 teaspoon of balck pepper – You can also add more black pepper to your Swedish meatballs, but you should still salt them.
- 1/4 teaspoon allspiceAllspice, a popular spice found in European Cuisines, is very common. It contains hints of ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger as well as mild peppery flavors. This meatball recipe uses allspice to complement the creamy gravy.
- 1 large eggs – Adding one egg to these keto Swedish meatballs will give them structure. Eggs have many health benefits.
- 2 tablespoons olive oils –Olive Oil is a healthy fat source. This makes the recipe even more delicious.
Cream Sauce
- 1 teaspoon salted butter – Salty butter is best because it will add a little more flavor. You can substitute unsalted butter for salted butter by adding your own salt.
- 1 Cup Beef Stock – Beef stocks are a delicious, high-protein, low-calorie and low-carb cooking liquid. It will also enhance the flavor of your meatballs and add tons of flavor.
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream – This gravy is made creamy with heavy cream. Heavy whipping cream can be found in most grocery stores.
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard – Dijon mayonnaise adds a touch of savory flavor to this creamy keto gravy. This will also make the gravy a lovely golden color.
- Salt and pepper according to your taste – It is possible to add salt and pepper as soon as your gravy has finished cooking. Or wait until the gravy has finished cooking before adding it in. You have the option to choose!
- 1/2 teaspoon of xanthan Gum – This thickening agent will make the keto cream sauce expand and hold its shape. Xanthan gum will improve the texture of your keto cream sauce, so make sure to include it!
- Fresh chopped Parsley – The addition of parsley to your recipe adds flavor and spice. You can also use dried parsley if you don’t have fresh parsley.
