Keto Polish Meatballs with Mushroom Sauce (Pulpety w Sosie Grzybowym)

Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground Pork
• 2 tbsp Flaxseed Meal
• 6 tbsp Water
• 1/2 medium Onion (grated)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 oz Dried Mushrooms
• 1 cup Heavy Cream
• 2 tbsp Butter
• 1 cup Beef Broth
• 2 tbsp Parsley (chopped)
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1/2 tsp Black Pepper

Instructions

1. 1Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a small bowl, combine the 2 tablespoons of Flaxseed Meal with the 6 tablespoons of Water; stir well and let this mixture sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
2. 2In a large mixing bowl, combine the 1 lb Ground Pork, the 1/2 medium grated Onion, the 2 cloves minced Garlic, 3/4 teaspoon of Salt, 1/4 teaspoon of Black Pepper, and the prepared flaxseed mixture. Mix thoroughly until just combined, then roll the mixture into approximately 1-inch diameter meatballs and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
3. 3Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) is reached when measured with a meat thermometer.
4. 4While the meatballs are baking, place the 1 oz Dried Mushrooms in a medium heat-proof bowl. Pour enough warm water over them to cover completely and let them soak for 15 minutes until softened, then drain and finely chop the rehydrated mushrooms into 1/4-inch pieces.
5. 5In a large skillet (e.g., 10-12 inch), melt the 2 tablespoons of Butter over medium heat. Add the 1 oz chopped Mushrooms and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are softened and lightly browned. Pour in the 1 cup Beef Broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, continuing to simmer for 5 minutes to reduce slightly.
6. 6Stir in the 1 cup Heavy Cream, 1/4 teaspoon of Salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of Black Pepper into the skillet, bringing the sauce to a gentle simmer while stirring occasionally. Carefully add the baked meatballs to the simmering mushroom sauce and let them simmer together for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
7. 7Garnish the dish with the 2 tablespoons of chopped Parsley and serve hot.
