| This meatball recipe is excellent and versatile if you have histamine or dairy concerns. You can add whatever spice you like from southwestern (my favorite) to Cajun or cumin. . . whatever floats your boat. If you have histamine issues or dairy issues, remove the cottage cheese and replace it with 3T olive oil. I use Equip Prime protein powders and pork panko as the filler instead of oatmeal as the old recipe used.
