Description
A vibrant dish that combines the bold essence of jerk seasoning with a creamy coconut curry sauce. Perfect for weeknight dinners or impressing guests!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground meat (beef, chicken, or turkey)
- 2 tablespoons jerk seasoning
- 1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 inch fresh ginger, grated
- 1 bell pepper, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the ground meat and jerk seasoning. Mix well until fully combined, then form the mixture into evenly sized meatballs.
- In your slow cooker, pour in the coconut milk and curry powder. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, grated ginger, and bell pepper, mixing everything together. Season with salt and pepper to your taste.
- Carefully place the meatballs into the slow cooker, ensuring they’re submerged in the sauce.
- Cover and set your slow cooker to low heat. Allow it to cook for 4-6 hours, or until the meatballs are thoroughly cooked.
- Serve your succulent meatballs alongside the rich sauce over fluffy rice or quinoa, garnished with fresh cilantro for that final touch.
Notes
For a more intense flavor, let your meatballs rest for 30 minutes after seasoning before cooking. Adding bread crumbs or an egg can enhance binding.
