Note: This looks like a long list, but I think these are all ingredients most of us have on hand. This recipe will also test your multi-tasking skills. If it seems like too much, put the rice together first and then keep it on low while you make and bake your meatballs.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
First, make your sauce. In the bowl of a food processor or blender (I used a Vitamix), add your ingredients and blend. Add more stock as needed to thin out the sauce to your liking. Set aside.
Then, in a large bowl, mix together all the ingredients for meatballs. Form into 1 1/2 inch balls (I made 18) and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes for medium, longer if you like well-done.
While meatballs are cooking, make you rice. Saute onion in a dab of coconut oil for 2-3 minutes, add cauliflower, raisins, chicken stock and spices, cover. Cook for 10-15 minutes until cauliflower is cooked through. (I like mine, al dente). Add pistachios before serving.
