Sif Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I made meatballs yesterday, thought I would just skip the milk cheese and breadcrumbs and just add one egg... Well they leaked all over but still tasted very good..so my question is, what do you use as a "binder" instead of the cheese and breadcrumbs so that they will not be so wet before cooking ?

Emiley Carey Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 try almond or coconut flour for your recipe, or try this recipe: http://stupideasypaleo.com/2013/01/10/easy-oven-baked-meatballs/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators LadyM Posted April 16, 2014 Moderators Share Posted April 16, 2014 theclothesmakethegirl.com has offered MMM (March Meatball madness). Her recipes are wonderful, creative, and don't use any filler or binder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllyB Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 I usually don't use a binder. I think depending on what other ingredients are in the meatballs, you might not need one. Also depending on how much fat is in the meat, you may or may not need it. The more fat, the easier it binds together. Lean grassfed beef sometimes doesn't want to stick together.

Rebe_J Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 I love the meatballs from "Well Fed 2." Mel has several varieties and they are delicious. No egg or other binder; she uses cream of tartar and baking soda to "tenderize" the mixture. I make up several batches each week and have them handy in the freezer.

kelseymae Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 I used ~ 1 lb pork, 2 eggs and lots of herbs. Browned them up in a cast iron skillet on one side, flipped then put them in the oven. They worked out great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svli_2000 Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Almond flour would be the best. Coconut flour would dry them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
