Teriyaki Cocktail Meatballs (grain and soy free)

Jump to Recipe

Teriyaki Cocktail Meatballs (grain free, paleo) | savorylotus.com

Finger food is fun. And so are meatballs.  Next time you have a little gathering, impress your guests with these little Teriyaki Cocktail Meatballs.  And don’t worry: they are grain and soy free. 

I love to entertain.  And I love to serve wholesome real food that tastes great.  I made these little cocktail meatballs last weekend for my Sweet Pearl’s birthday celebration.  These sweet and savory glazed meatballs were a big hit.

I used a mixture of beef and pork for my meatballs, but you can use whatever meat you like.  I speared them with toothpicks and served them on a fancy platter.  You can also serve them with veggies and cauliflower rice.  The kiddos will love it!

Enjoy!

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds ground meat (I used beef and pork)
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 TBS coconut flour (like this)
  • 1 tsp unrefined sea salt (I use this brand)
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
  • 1 TBS fresh ginger, grated
  • a few grinds of fresh pepper

FOR THE SAUCE:

  • 1 TBS arrowroot powder (like this)
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/2 cup coconut aminos (like this brand)
  • 1/2 cup good quality homemade broth
  • 1 TBS fresh ginger, grated
  • 2–3 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1/2 tsp unrefined salt
  • 2 TBS toasted sesame oil (like this)
  • 2 TBS apple cider vinegar (like this)
  • 4 TBS raw honey

GARNISH:

  • sesame seeds
  • cilantro

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350’F. Liberally oil a baking rack with coconut oil or ghee and place on top of large baking sheet. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, combine ground meat, eggs, coconut flour, salt, cilantro, grated ginger, and pepper. Mix until well combines. (I use my hands here.)
  3. Using moistened hands, form the meat mixture into 40 small meatballs and place onto prepared baking rack. Bake for 20 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, make the sauce. Start by combining 1/4 cup of water with arrowroot powder. Set aside.
  5. Add coconut aminos, broth, ginger, garlic, and salt to a saute pan. Bring to a simmer and simmer for about 4 minutes to reduce. Add arrowroot mixture and cook for a minute or 2, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy. Turn off heat and stir in the sesame oil, vinegar, and honey .
  6. Add the baked meatballs to the sauce and stir to coat evenly. You will have to do this in batches. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to serving platter. Pour remaining sauce over meatballs on platter, if you like. Garnish with sesame seeds and cilantro. Serve warm.

    Yum! made this tonight. It was well received by all. I served it for dinner, with rice and stir-fried veggies. It came out a bit salty; maybe my brand of aminos is saltier than yours. I had to leave out the egg, because I’m allergic, but with the coconut flour, they held together just fine. I will be adding a bit of coconut flour to my meatball and meatloaf recipes from now on. Thanks for the recipe.

      Thanks for the feedback! I’m glad that you liked them. 🙂 I find the coconut aminos to be quite mild so I usually add a titch of salt. Every palate is different. I think mine likes things a bit more salty. 😉
