PERFECT GLUTEN-FREE ITALIAN MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in medium saucepan. Add cashews and boil until softened, about 15 minutes. Drain and rinse well.
• While the cashews are boiling, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onions and cook until softened and lightly browned. Add garlic, oregano, basil, parsley, and red pepper flakes (optional) and cook until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
• In your food processor, add the onion mixture, boiled cashews, egg, and salt. Process until a fine paste develops, about 1 minute. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
• Add ground beef or lamb and knead with your hands until well combined.
• Roll mixture into 1 1/2 inch meatballs and place onto a foil-lined cookie sheet. I use a cookie scoop to make this process faster.
• Bake meatballs in preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until meatballs are browned and cooked through
