Tikka Masala Sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons garam masala
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- pinch of smoked paprika
- sea salt, to taste
- black pepper, to taste
- 1 6-ounce can Muir Glen Tomato Paste
- 1 15-ounce can full-fat coconut milk

Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F. Combine ground meat, flaxseed, and coconut aminos. Season with salt and pepper. Use a large cookie scoop to form meatballs. Place meatballs on an oiled baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes until meatballs are crisp on the outside.
Step 2
While the meatballs are baking, make the masala sauce. Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat and add garlic. Cook for a few minutes until fragrant, then add garam masala, ginger and paprika. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Add the Muir Glen Tomato Paste, coconut milk, cashew butter, and coconut aminos. Whisk until a thick sauce forms. Reduce heat to low and cover pan. Allow the sauce to simmer until meatballs are done baking.
Step 4
Transfer meatballs to the sauce, tossing to coat. Remove from heat and top with cilantro and green onion. Serve with rice and roasted veggies, if desired.
