SLOW-COOKER KOFTE IN TOMATO-LIME BROTH



Slow-Cooker Kofte in Tomato-Lime Broth image

While you're at the beach, at work or doing anything at all, these bright, light, brothy meatballs can be stewing in the slow cooker. They are made in the style of kofte (from the Persian word meaning "grind"), in which ground meat is combined with lots of herbs and ground spices. Yogurt adds moisture and tang, but you don't need another binder or to brown the meat first. As the meatballs slowly cook, their juices mingle with the tomatoes to create a rich but tart broth. Eat with grains (bulgur wheat, farro, rice), couscous, noodles or pita. For a stovetop version, see the Tip.

Categories     dinner, meatballs, main course

Time 4h10m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lime
4 garlic cloves, smashed and peeled
1 cup chopped dill, mint, parsley or a combination, plus more for serving
1/2 cup full-fat Greek yogurt (about 4 ounces)
1 1/2 teaspoons ground turmeric or another warm spice, like baharat, paprika, cumin, coriander, allspice or a mix
Kosher salt (Diamond Crystal) and black pepper
2 pounds ground lamb, beef, turkey or a combination
3 pints cherry or Sungold tomatoes (about 30 ounces)
Granulated sugar, to taste

Steps:

  • Use a vegetable peeler to peel the rind off the lime in wide strips. Add the rind to a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker, along with the garlic and ¼ cup water. (Reserve the lime.)
  • In a large bowl, stir together the herbs, yogurt, turmeric, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon black pepper. Add the meat and use your hands to combine. Form the meat into 8 balls (roughly 4½ ounces each) and add to the slow cooker in a single layer. If they don't fit in one layer, add a few tomatoes to buffer the meatballs from one another, then add another layer of meatballs. Add the cherry tomatoes, season with salt and pepper, then cover and cook on low until the meatballs are cooked through, 3 to 4 hours.
  • Transfer the meatballs to plates, then remove and discard the garlic and lime peel. Burst most of the tomatoes by smashing them on the side of the slow cooker with a spoon. Squeeze the reserved lime into the slow cooker, then season to taste with salt, pepper and sugar. (The sugar helps compensate for too-tart tomatoes.) Spoon the tomatoes and broth on top of the meatballs, along with more fresh herbs.

Tips:

  • To ensure the chicken is cooked thoroughly, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C).
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of lime juice and chili powder to your preference for a more or less tangy and spicy flavor.
  • If you don't have a slow cooker, you can also cook this recipe in a Dutch oven over low heat for 6-8 hours or until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
  • To save time, you can use pre-cooked rice or microwaveable rice packets instead of cooking the rice from scratch.
  • Garnish the finished dish with fresh cilantro, lime wedges, and sliced avocado for an extra pop of flavor and color.

Conclusion:

This slow cooker lime chicken with rice is a flavorful and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for busy weeknights or casual gatherings. The combination of tangy lime, aromatic spices, and tender chicken creates a delicious main course that is sure to please the whole family. Serve it with your favorite sides such as roasted vegetables, steamed broccoli, or a fresh salad for a complete and satisfying meal. Enjoy!
