Keto Kid-Friendly Instant Pot Rainbow Meatballs
How to Make It
Step 1
Finely dice the red and yellow bell peppers and onion and finely chop the spinach. Add the ground beef to a large mixing bowl. Add the chopped bell peppers, onion and spinach. Crack the egg into the bowl. Season generously with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Use your hands to thoroughly mix the meat, vegetables, egg and seasoning together until well combined. Once well mixed, divide the mixture into 20 even portions, rolling into balls with your hands. The meatballs should be slightly smaller than a golf ball. Arrange the rainbow meatballs in the base of your instant pot. Pour the stock and passata (tomato sauce) over the meatballs in an even layer. You may use a chicken or beef stock if preferred. You may wish to add additional salt and pepper to the instant pot to season the sauce. This will depend on the strength of the seasoning in the stock you use.
Step 3
Place the lid on the instant pot and ensure that it is set to ‘sealing’. Set to cook at high pressure and set the time for 8 minutes. After this time, let the pressure release naturally for 5 minutes then do a quick release to allow the remaining pressure to escape. Once it is safe to do so, open the lid of the instant pot. Serve the meatballs with your preferred Keto sides.
