Notes
You can comfortably double this recipe, just adjust cooking times as required and utilise the steaming trays for extra meatballs.
If you don’t want to use onion and garlic powders in your recipes, and would rather fresh ingredients, that is fine… just chop before step 3 sauté in 30 g or 1 oz olive oil for 5 minutes.
1 tsp garlic powder = 2 garlic cloves
1 tsp onion powder = 1 medium brown onion
Keep in mind this is designed to be a very low calorie meal.

At step 4 use ST temp if using an Intelli and 120°C or 250°F if using a Supercook. If you're going to steam vegetables at the same time, you'll need to use speed 3 for an Intelli and speed 4 for a Supercool.
At step 5 use ST temp if using an Intelli (and pop a tea towel over the steaming attachment) and 120°C or 250°F if using a Supercook.
