• 1-2 tablespoons of fresh herbs such as basil, cilantro or chives
• ¼ cup finely chopped Swiss chard or kale leaves (no stems)
• Sesame seeds: 1/3 sesame seeds on a flat plate. Once you form the meatball, roll it around the plate to coat it evenly with the seeds

Directions

1. Line 2 baking tray with tin foil.
2. Preheat oven to 400° F (204°C).
3. In a metal mixing bowl, add the first 7 ingredients and mix with a spoon or whisk.
4. In the same bowl, add the ground pork, beef, and oatmeal and if using PGX Daily Singles, add granules in at this time.
5. Use your hands to mix the remaining ingredients.
6. Take approximately 1 tablespoon of meat mixture between your palms and make a ball. Place on the foil lined baking tray. Leave ½ inch space between meatballs on the baking sheet.
7. Bake 15-20 minutes or until the meat begins to slightly brown on the outside. Let cool for 5 minutes so they firm up before serving.
