These meatballs are a weekly (or at least fortnightly) staple meal in our home and are always a favorite.  They are easy to make, autoimmune friendly, egg-free, gluten-free and grain-free!  I usually make them with hot chips of either the nightshade or sweet potato variety but they can go along with a noodle dish nicely.  I prefer to have them with sliced avocados, sweet potato fries and my cultured hummus or cauliflower hummus.  I don’t tend to serve them with noodles… because I can’t eat nightshades or dairy myself and have not yet created a pasta sauce that our whole family agrees upon of the AIP variety.

Obviously you can use other meats, but lamb is the least inflammatory for me and I love it. I get my Himalayan pink salt from Costco, the Konjac root from Amazon and the Rosemary Garlic, Souvlaki (I usually pick one of the two) and Roasted Garlic Aioli from my friend Kim’s Epicure Shop.  I love these spices and use them daily.  They are high quality, clean and well balanced!
