How to Make Apricot Salsa Meatballs

  1. In a large saucepan or slow cooker, combine all ingredients.
  2. Mix thoroughly using a large spoon, ensuring all meatballs are evenly coated.
  3. For stovetop cooking: Simmer gently for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. For slow cooker: Cook on high for 2 hours or low for 4 hours, stirring halfway through.
  4. Serve warm and enjoy! Consider garnishing with fresh cilantro or a dollop of sour cream for an extra touch.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
