hestia8A few recipe posts coming up :)
I did this last night, and the meatballs and sauce were lush. I'm not sure the rice should go in with everything else, though - mine came out like mush (this did not stop me eating it).
Serves 4-6
500g mince
1/2 tsp allspice
1 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tsps ground cumin
330g par-cooked short-grain rice (not sure what this is in UK)
375ml chicken stock
400g tinned chopped tomatoes
35g toasted pistachio nuts
2 tablespoons currants
2 tablespoons chopped coriander leaves
Put the beef in a bowl and add the allspice, 1/2 teaspoon of the cinnamon, 1tsp of the cumin and 1/2 teaspoon of the coriander. Season with salt and pepper. Using your hands, mix the spices and beef together well. Roll the mixture into small balls.
Put the meatballs in the slow cooker along with the remaining spices, the rice, stock and tomatoes. Cook on high for 4 hours, or until the meatballs and rice are cooked through. Stir through the pistachios, currants and coriander before serving.
Notes: I didn't have any currants or pistachios, so I didn't use them. This, in turn, made the dinner free on Slimming World in case anyone's interested.
