Ingredients:

 500 tsp beef mince
 1 egg
 ½ onion, roughly chopped
 1 tsp tamari
 ½ tsp chilli flakes
 ½ tsp dried oregano
 ½ tsp sea salt
 Pinch black pepper
 1 can tomato & basil pasta sauce
 6 courgettes, spiralized
 1 avocado
 Fresh parsley, finely chopped
 1 tbsp coconut oil, for frying

Method:

1

Add mince, egg, onion, tamari, chilli flakes, oregano, salt, pepper to a food processor and process together until ingredients are well combined (mine turned into a ball). Alternatively, you can combine these ingredients together into a mixing bowl and mix together with your hands until well combined.

2

Use your hands to roll the beef mixture into golf-ball sized balls. In a medium-sized pan over medium heat, melt coconut oil, add meatballs to the pan.

3

Fry the meatballs for 15 minutes, turning them around every 3-4 minutes to ensure they are cooked through on all sides.

4

After 15 minutes add the tomato and basil pasta sauce to the pan, reduce heat and let it simmer with the meatballs for 5 minutes.

5

While the meatballs are cooking make the zoodles. Cut the ends off your zucchini and spiralize in a hand-held spiralizer or a spiralizer machine. Alternatively, use a julienne peeler and slice the zucchini lengthways.

6

Thinly slice or cube your avocado and add this to the zoodle mixture.

7

Add zoodles and avocado to a bowl or plate, top with meatballs, sauce and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
