Here is a
recipe that is one of those all time favorites in many families with
children. The problem is how do you make
meatballs and sauce without onions? Turns out it isn’t that hard it just takes
a few substitutions. Instead of onions you use shallots- lots of them! Another
great substitution for onions although not in this recipe is leeks; you can
also use green onions. All do not have the tyramine levels that regular onions
do. For the onion and lemon juice free tomato sauce again I turned to
bionaturae’s strained tomatoes.
Simple, fast
filling and delicious!
Ingredients for Meatballs
1 package of
ground turkey or beef (we used turkey)
½ Cup bread
crumbs
2 large Cloves
of shallots chopped finely
3 Cloves of
garlic chopped finely
1 egg
Pizza seasoning
(about Tbs)***, basil (Tbs), fennel (Ts), Penzeys Spices Bangkok Blend (Ts),
Season to taste
Pasta!
Bionaturae’s
Strained Tomato Sauce or other no onion or lemon juice sauce warmed in saucepan
with Pizza seasoning added. You can also sauté garlic in olive oil first if you
have extra time!
Add 3-4
tablespoons olive oil to a frying pan and cook the meatballs on medium high
heat until cooked through, turning them frequently, so they do not burn but
form a nice crust.
*Don’t forget please don’t sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top- don’t worry you won’t even miss it after awhile!
I swear I will get off this Italian kick soon!
*** As a kind friend pointed out pizza seasoning does have onion in it! I swear i read it 3 times. Onion is ok in small amounts according to some experts, however since i still am having some low grade headaches this could be why! So, I think i am going to stay away from it sadly for awhile. The choice is of course up to you! That is why this blog is soo important we can all help each other!!!
