Recipe Introduction
Level 1 ~ Pro/Fat ~ Maisy's quote: We tried this recipe last night and it was fantastic. The name in Turkish is Fasulyu Ve Kuzu. Hope you enjoy!
List of Ingredients
First make the meatballs. Mix:
1 lb. ground beef (or ground lamb, which I can't find locally)
1 egg
* 1/4 cup Keto crumbs (or crushed pork rinds or almond flour or omit entirely) (* Deb - I used 1/4 cup grated Parmesan)
1/2 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon allspice
dash cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
To the same skillet, add:
1/2 medium onion, sliced thinly. Saute 3 minutes. Then add:
1 pound fresh green beans
1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon basil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1/4 cup water
Recipe
For meatballs:
Form into small meatballs and fry in 1 T. butter + 2 T. olive oil. Remove from skillet.
---------
For the green bean portion:
Stir well to combine. Put the meatballs back in and mix gently. Turn the whole thing into a deep casserole or Dutch oven. Bake, uncovered, at 350 for 1 hr.
The green beans we used were kind of big and tough, and didn't cook all the way in 1 hour. I think I would parboil them for 5 min. next time. If you're using smaller, tender green beans, they should be fine as is.

* Deb’s notes: I made the meatballs exactly to recipe, using hamburger and subbing grated (powdery) Parmesan cheese for the Keto crumbs. I was out of frozen beans, so I used canned (I’ve read that canned French-cut are good here too). I used a large (28 ounce) can of Italian (flat, broad) green beans. Since I like a lot of sauce and veggies and I doubled this recipe - next time I will add an extra (14oz) can of crushed tomatoes and another (14oz) can of green beans, or the equivalent frozen beans. I also used crushed tomatoes instead of diced. I baked this in a large (11 x 17" roasting pan because I doubled it). My husband loved this recipe!
