Oven Baked Paleo Italian Meatballs over Garlic Cauliflower Mash

I've posted this paleo meatball recipe a couple times now, which means this recipe is clearly one of my favorites! I decided to switch it up this time though and pair it with a garlic cauliflower mash, and I even used ghee (clarified butter) as the recipe calls for. If you don't have ghee you can use your favorite cooking fat instead, which is what I have always done in the past whenever a recipe called for ghee. However, I recently bought ghee to make tasty paleo meals for my mom, so I am just making sure I put it to use. Anyways, I cannot believe how delicious the cauliflower mash turned out! I haven't had mashed potatoes in a long long time, but I really thought it tasted just like mashed potatoes. I was a little nervous that the meatballs and marinara sauce might not pair well with the cauliflower mash, but this meal tasted amazing. Also worth noting is that I used two 12oz bags of frozen cauliflower and barely had enough mash for 6 meals. These recipes are seriously worth making, both separate or together!

Ingredients:
  • 1lb ground pork
  • 1lb ground beef
  • 2 tbsps Italian Seasoning
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp parsley, finely chopped

  • 1 tsp ground black pepper
Sauce:

  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsps olive oil

  • 1 tsp black pepper
Directions:
  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees
  2. Line a sheet pan with foil
  3. Mix the meat, egg and seasonings together in a bowl, then form about two tablespoons of the meat mixture into even sized meatballs and place them on the lined sheet pan.
  4. Bake in a 400f oven for 20 minutes, or until cooked through.
Marinara Sauce:
  1. Add the olive oil to a pan and heat up on a medium heat, then add the chopped onion and saute for five minutes. Add the chopped garlic, canned tomatoes, bay leaf and pepper.
  2. Cook on a low - medium heat for 20 - 30 minutes.
  3. Serve over the cooked meatballs and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
