2-3 Tbsp dried herbs (parsley, thyme, rosemary)

1 Tbsp paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

1.5 - 2 Tbsp Cell Squared Organic Beef Liver Powder

Cell Squared Organic Ghee, for cooking

EASY BONE BROTH (optional)

Method

MEATBALLS

1. Add meatball ingredients into a bowl and combine everything (leave out the spices and seasonings if you are following a strict Carnivore protocol).

2. Roll the mixture into 30 meatballs.

3. Heat a frying pan and add some ghee. Add a few meatballs to the frying pan and cook on all sides until dark golden brown. Then remove from the pan and set aside in a dish (you can pop it in a preheated oven at approximately 120C to keep warm while you continue cooking the rest of the meatballs).

4. Add more ghee if needed to cook the next batch of meatballs. Repeat until all the meatballs are cooked.

GRAVY

1. Add bone broth into a small saucepan and bring up to a medium simmer.

2. Add the cassava flour, starting with 1 Tbsp. and whisk it together until there are no lumps. (leave out the the cassava flour if following a strict Carnivore protocol and simply serve with bone broth)

3. Allow it to simmer and reduce for a few minutes. Add more cassava flour and whisk through if you want a thicker gravy.

4. Serve the meatballs alone or with sides of your choice!
