Spicy Meatballs
Do you love hot and spicy dishes? These stovetop wild game meatballs are perfectly spicy on their own, no sauce needed!
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons lard or bacon fat for frying
- 1 cup oats processed in blender as flour
- 2 lbs ground beef venison, or whatever you have on hand
- 1 red onion diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 ½ tablespoons sea salt
- 1 tablespoon chipotle powder or chili pepper powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 3 dashes Worcestershire sauce optional
Instructions
- Blend oats until turned into a fine flour.
- Mince garlic and chop onion into fine pieces.
- Combine all ingredients except lard thoroughly by hand or danish dough whisk
- Roll into evenly sized balls; I made 35.
- Heat fat in large skillet.
- Carefully place meatballs into heated skillet. If not large enough do in 2 batches.
- Brown meatballs on medium heat, cooking all sides by turning them with a large spoon, careful not to overcook.
- Place lid on skillet for 3-5 minutes to finish off batch if you want them a little bit more moist; you can add a few tablespoons of water if they need a bit more moisture.
Notes
- Serve over rice or noodles, depending on what you have or have a taste for.
- This works well with any red meat such as venison, beef, bison. I haven't tested with poultry and it might be a bit too dry here.
- Serve on a plate of your favourite pasta, top with sauce or just eat on their own as a satisfying dish.
