Baked Tuna Meatballs
Baked Tuna Meatballs
INGREDIENTS
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 medium onion, finely diced
- 2 cups baby spinach, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 5-ounce cans tuna, or one pound cooked tuna
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 2 beaten eggs
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoon chopped fresh dill, chopped
- salt and pepper, to taste
METHOD
- Heat the oil in a pan on medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic and saute for a minute. Then add the chopped baby spinach and saute for another 1-2 minutes or until the spinach is wilted.
- Transfer the onion spinach mixture to a bowl and let it cool. You can place the bowl in the fridge to speed this up.
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees fahrenheit.
- Drain the cans of tuna and add the tuna to a mixing bowl along with the cooled vegetables, almond flour, eggs, mayonnaise, lemon juice, parsley, dill, salt and pepper.
- Use your hands to dig in and mix everything together, breaking up any large chunks of tuna. The finer the mixture, the easier it will stick together.
- Use a medium cookie scoop to scoop out evenly sized amounts of mixture. Use your fingers to mold this into a ball, then place it on a parchment lined baking tray.
- Bake the tuna meatballs for 20-25 minutes, or until lightly golden.
