In a large mixing bowl, combine the beef, pork, parsley, dried minced onion, sage, nutmeg or mace, salt, garlic powder, pepper (if using), and fennel seeds. Using hands, mix until well combined. Form into 1” meatballs and set aside.
In the pot of a 6-quart or larger Instant Pot, add in the mushrooms; onion; aminos, tamari or soy sauce; and broth. Gently layer the uncooked meatballs on top of the mixture.
Close and seal the Instant Pot lid. Set to cook for 20 minutes on the “Meat/Stew” setting. When the timer goes off, immediately vent to release the steam.
Remove the Instant Pot lid, and then turn on the “Saute” mode. In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut milk and arrowroot powder until smooth. Add to the Instant Pot, and gently stir the mixture to break up the meatballs and thicken the gravy. As soon as the gravy is thickened, about two minutes, turn off the Instant Pot.
Serve meatballs and gravy over mashed cauliflower, mashed potatoes, egg noodles, zoodles, or cooked spaghetti squash. Sprinkle with additional parsley for garnish.
