- In a food processor, coarsely pulse, pineapple, garlic, and onion. Add coconut aminos and hot sauce.
- Add mixture from food processor to the meat. Blend together with clean hands (the best tools) folding ingredients together.
- Using a small melon baller, scoop out meatballs. This will make between 24-30 meatballs; depending on your scoop size.

- These can be served warm or at room temperature.
