When I first made these, I didn't have the fresh parsley or basil, but I had dried - so I've used that. No measurements, just a few shakes of the shaker. I also added some Tarragon.

INGREDIENTS
• 1 lb ground beef;
• 1 lb ground pork;
• 1/4 onion, minced;
• 1/4 cup fresh basil,
finely minced;
• 1/4 cup fresh
parsley, finely minced;
• 1 cup spinach,
finely minced;
• 4 eggs;
• 1/4 cup almond meal;
• 1 tbsp dried
oregano;
• 4 cloves garlic,
minced;
• Sea salt and
freshly ground black pepper
to taste;
PREPARATION
1 Preheat your oven to 350 F.
2 Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and mix
well with your hands to combine. You can use a
food processor to reduce the basil, parsley and
spinach to a finer mixture before adding it to the
ground meat. Season the mixture to taste with
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
3 Make small balls the size of a golf ball and place
them apart on a baking sheet, then place them
in the preheated oven to cook for about 25 minutes,
until well cooked.
