Shopping for ingredients? Coconut aminos can be purchased online, and are great to have on hand for AIP cooking. You can also get these ingredients online – dried chopped onion, dried sage, ground mace, bone broth (we love this collagen-rich brand).

Ingredients
- 1 lb / 450 g ground beef
- 1 lb / 450 g ground pork
- ¼ cup minced fresh parsley (divided)
- 2 tablespoons dried chopped onion
- 1 teaspoon dried sage
- ½ teaspoon ground mace
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- 2 cups sliced mushrooms (button or crimini)
- 1 large onion, chopped
- ½ cup bone broth (or coconut milk, or water)

Instructions
- In a bowl, mix together ground beef, pork, 3 tablespoons minced parsley, dried onion, sage, mace, and salt. Once thoroughly mixed, form into meatballs about 1-inch in diameter.
- Place mushrooms, onion, broth/coconut milk/water, and coconut aminos into the Instant Pot. Add the meatballs.
- Close and lock the lid. Press the MEAT/STEW button and set cooking time to 35 minutes. Once the time is up, quick release the pressure.
- Using a slotted spoon gently remove meatballs and transfer to a serving platter.
- Using an immersion blender or a high-speed blender, purée the cooked mushrooms, onions, and

- Pour gravy over meatballs and garnish with remaining tablespoon of minced parsley. This dish makes a wonderful appetizer as is, or main course when served over spaghetti squash,
- cauliflower rice, sautéed veggies, or warmed zucchini noodles.

Haven’t made yet but wondering about any suggestions for freezing meetballs for later any suggestions?
These should be fine to freeze for up to 2-3 months. Make sure to cool them completely and use Ziplock bags or a container and you can freeze the meatballs and gravy.
This is a great recipe and makes delicious meatballs! We’ve made this many time, but I’ve wondered about the long cooking time. 35 minutes seems awfully long, I usually do much shorter, like manual for 10 min. Then again, I don’t know what the Meat/stew button function is – does this cook it in a different way? I still haven’t figured out all the different buttons on my instant pot…

do you have non-instant pot directions? I don’t have one.
Sorry but all of our recipes are Instant Pot based. You should consider the investment, as it is a pressure cooker that we personally love.
