Quick and Easy Meatballs

Serves 4

• 1 lb lean ground beef

• 1 small onion, finely diced

• 2 garlic cloves, minced

• 1 red pepper, diced

• 1 egg

• ½ cup buckwheat flour

• ¼ cup cilantro, chopped

• 1 tsp. oregano

• 12 slices streaky bacon

Preheat the oven to 400F.

Place all the ingredients apart from the bacon in a bowl, season with salt and pepper and mix well using your hands. Once everything is well combined, form 12 meatballs the size of a golf ball (use a ¼ cup for measuring).

Wrap each meatball in a slice of bacon and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 20 mins. For the last 4-5 mins set the oven to broil to crisp the outside.
