Notes
Gluten Free:Gluten free flour and almond flour are both great substitutes for the breadcrumbs.However, almond flour does NOT work for the gravy – gluten free flour should be used for that.
Pre-cooked wild rice will save you a lot of time. I used a can of wild rice (!!) for one of my test batches and was great – tasted awesome and it saved me a lot of time. The canned wild rice I bought contained just cooked wild rice, water, and salt – I drained the water before using it. Whether you cook your own wild rice or use pre-cooked, in terms of flavor I’d STRONGLY recommend 100% wild rice as opposed to a “wild rice blend” which is usually made up of primarily white or brown rice with only a few sad and lonely specks of wild rice.
If you don’t want to bake, these meatballs can also be pan-friend until firm.
If you’re looking to cut back on refined sugars, whole wheat flour works as well.
