These Cumin Spiced Meatballs in Rich Tomato Sauce make perfect use of my favorite warming spice: cumin! I add cumin to everything. I love it! These slow cooker meatballs are one of my favorite comfort foods – cooked long and slow in a rich and delicious tomato sauce.
Start by mixing the ingredients for the meatballs. Leave the mixture to rest for a few minutes before shaping the meatballs. As the meat mixture rests, place the sauce ingredients in the insert of a slow cooker. Lay the meatballs on top of the sauce and cook for 6-7 hours on low. Serve with rice, mashed potatoes or French fries and enjoy!
To make the Cumin Spiced Meatballs in Rich Tomato Sauce, you will need the following ingredients:
Using your fingers, toss 1 cup of breadcrumbs with ¼ cup of red wine in a small bowl using your fingers.
Place 1½ pounds of ground beef in a mixing bowl. Add the moistened breadcrumbs, 2 teaspoons of garlic paste, 1 tablespoon of parsley, ¾ teaspoon of salt, 1½ teaspoons of powdered cumin, ¼ teaspoon of black pepper and ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon. Knead the mixture well, using your hands, until fully combined.
Leave the meatball mixture to rest for about 10 minutes.
Place 1 can of diced tomatoes in the insert of a slow cooker with 1 tablespoon of butter, 2 teaspoons of dried onion flakes, ½ a teaspoon of salt, ½ a teaspoon of sugar and ½ a teaspoon of sweet paprika.
Take 3 tablespoons of the meatball mixture and shape into long, oval-shaped meatballs.
Place the meatballs in the slow cooker. Do not mix with the sauce.
Cook on low for 6-7 hours, until the meatballs are fully cooked and the sauce has thickened slightly.
Serve the meatballs and sauce over your favorite accompaniment - on different occasions, I like to pair mine with rice, mashed potato or French fries.
