INGREDIENTS
- 1 1/2 lbs organic beef
- 1/2 head of cauliflower ground in food processor

- 2 Tbsp Ground Chia Seed
- 1/3 cup filtered water
- Sea Salt to taste
- Oregano to taste
DIRECTIONS
- Tip a large mixing bowl to whisk chia and water until thick. It will continue to gel.

- Process spinach, add that into large bowl also
- Add beef to large bowl
- Mix well with hands.
- Form into meatballs and place into frying pan
- Sprinkle with salt and oregano (or any seasonings you like, to taste)
- Fry on medium low heat, rotating meatballs as needed.
- Takes 15 to 20 minutes to cook through.
DISHING ON THIS DISH: The weather is getting nice here and playing outside combined with running errands equals super hungry family needing to eat on the fly. This was about 10 minutes to prep and 15 to 20 minutes to fry in the pan. The chia seed helps the mixture to stay packed together good enough for turning over in the pan. So, if you use more meat, be sure to use more chia. I threw some Brussels Sprouts in the oven and everything was done about the same time.
