Rich and Savoury Hoisin Meatballs Recipe

I have a love for meatballs of all types; sometimes, every dinner includes meatballs for a week, all different, of course, but I just get carried away by the possibilities of meatballs. The sauce in this Hoisin meatballs is not Paleo or strictly primal; you could find a recipe for something similar and more in line with Paleo if you wish to be completely compliant.

Although I admit to this kind of little cheat in my meals, remember we live in a modern world with modern conveniences and staying 80% compliant and 20% non-compliant will net you gains in your health! This dish can be the main meal served along with a veggie stir fry, that’s my favourite way, or as a stand-alone on an appetizer plate!
