- Preheat the oven to 350 F. Heat a stove top grill to medium high with coconut oil, and shape each meatball into a sausage shape onto each skewer using your hands. Season with more salt if desired, and grill evenly on each side for 5 minutes. Place in the oven on a foil lined sheet pan and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes.
- To make the cilantro pesto…blend 1/8 cup olive oil with ½ cup fresh cilantro leaves, 3 green onions (green parts only) and 1 cup of basil with a fresh squeeze of lemon juice, and a pinch of sea salt and pepper to taste.
- When served, garnish with fresh cilantro and chopped green onions (green parts only).
NOTES
NO GRILL? If you don’t have a stove top grill, you may grill these on a barbeque. Or broil on high for 3 minutes on each side, then bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until internal temp of 160 degrees is reached.
