Avocado Stuffed Pork Meatballs

Two words. Really good! Husband liked them. That's a plus, but basically he likes anything haha. 

Ingredients

For the meatballs:

Lean ground pork
1 scallion, finely chopped 
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 egg
½ teaspoon of paprika powder
½ teaspoon of salt
¼ teaspoon of pepper
½ teaspoon of dried oregano
2 tablespoons of plain breadcrumbs (I used whole wheat breadcrumbs)
½ ripe avocado, peeled and cut into pieces

Coconut oil spray

For the sauce:
¼ cup of low-sodium soy sauce
½ cup of ketchup
2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons of honey
1 tablespoon of brown sugar
¼ teaspoon of garlic powder
¼ teaspoon of ground ginger

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with tin foil and spray with coconut oil
2. Mix all the meatball ingredients (except the avocado) together in a large bowl 

3. Place 1 piece avocado in center of each meat portion and gently shape into ball. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until browned

4. Combine all ingredients for the sauce in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, or until sauce thickens, stirring occasionally

5. Add meatballs to the sauce and gently stir to evenly coat

6. Cook for 1-2 min, stirring frequently then remove from heat

7. Garnish with additional chopped scallions
