Notes from the cook: You can substitute ¼ cup red wine or 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar/balsamic vinegar for the coconut aminos, if needed.

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).

Serve these meatballs over cauliflower rice, sweet potato mash or with a side of vegetables.

  1. Haven’t made yet but wondering about any suggestions for freezing meetballs for later any suggestions?

    1. 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.

  2. 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…
