We've used equal amounts of ground beef and ground pork. You could also use a third each of ground beef, pork and veal.
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup coconut milk
- ⅓ cup fresh chopped basil
- ½ cup seasoned breadcrumbs
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 1 28-ounce can plum tomatoes
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon mustard powder
- 1½ teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 3 teaspoons dried oregano
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Combine the ground beef, garlic powder, breadcrumbs, dried oregano, onion powder, mustard powder, salt, and pepper. Form the meat into small meatballs with your hands.
- Place the uncooked meatballs on a baking sheet and place into the oven to cook for 12-15 minutes.
- Pour the olive oil, tomatoes (with juice), fresh basil, and coconut milk into a blender. Blend until you reach the desired consistency you prefer. I like it to be nice and smooth.
- Pour the tomato basil bisque back into the saucepan and turn heat to low, just to warm throughout.
- Once the meatballs are finished cooking, add them to the bisque.
- Serve with grated parmesan or pecorino cheese on top, if desired. Sprinkle some fresh basil on top (optional). Enjoy!
