Directions

Mix together your ground meat of choice, the chopped veggies, garlic, herbs, spices, lemon zest and oil until combined. Try not to over mix.
Form into 2 inch round balls and set aside.
Heat 1-2 tablespoons of oil in a pan over medium-high heat, arrange meatballs in a pan so they have plenty of room and let them sit undisturbed for 2-3 minutes then flip.
After you've got some good color on your meatball, reduce the heat and let them finish cooking.
Once meatballs have been cooked through, remove from the pan.
In the same pan Important!! Don't lose all the flavor you've got in there! You're going to start building your sauce. Deglaze your pan by pouring in our vegetable broth and scrap any brown bits from the bottom of the pan, bring to a simmer.
Add fresh thyme, Lemon zest, lemon juice, coconut milk, Spiceology Raspberry Chipotle, ground mustard, dried basil, and paprika. Combine well and keep at a simmer.
If you want a thicker sauce, you can add a slurry to it made up of corn starch and warm water. The longer it sits, the thicker it will become.
Then layer your preferred carbs, meatballs, and sauce. Top with fresh herbs and fresh lemon!
