Como fazer Moroccan Meatballs In Spicy Sauce

In a large bowl, combine 1 lb ground lamb, 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp ground coriander, 1/2 tsp turmeric, 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (or more, to taste), and 1/2 cup breadcrumbs.
Gently shape the mixture into 30 meatballs (approximately 1 inch in diameter).
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat with cooking spray.
Add half of the meatballs to the skillet and cook for 3 minutes per side, or until browned, stirring frequently. Set aside.
Repeat with the remaining meatballs.

Add the browned meatballs to the slow cooker.
Cover and cook on low for 6 hours, or until the meatballs are cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
Serve the Moroccan meatballs over couscous or your favorite grain. Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired.
