SIMPLE LOW FAT MEATBALLS.



Simple Low Fat Meatballs. image

I got this recipe from a Women's Health magazine. They suggest you add Cajun seasoning to these since they are supposed to be an appetizer. Also, their nutritional information is that these have 20 calories each, .5 fat grams, and 3 grams of protein. Not a significant source of sodium, carbs, or fiber.

Time 25m

Yield 32 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 lb pork tenderloin
2 tablespoons fresh parsley (or 1 tbsp dried)
2 teaspoons minced garlic (I like to add more)
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Dice tenderloin into one inch cubes.
  • In a blender, add all ingredients and pulse about 16 times until well mixed and evenly ground.
  • Roll into 32 meatballs.
  • Place on baking pan and spritz with Olive oil.
  • Bake for about 10 minutes or until juices run clear and they are no longer pink.
  • **Note: I am saying this makes 32 servings for nutritional ease of understanding. However, I would say if people eat about four each, then you would really get 8 servings.

I'm pretty sure I trimmed this recipe down to the bare minimum, but it tastes great and they hold together well! I made my bread crumbs from low-cal whole wheat bread, which makes the recipe even (just a bit) leaner than the analysis. I modified this from a recipe that I found on Cooks.com.
