Equipment

  • 5L slow cooker

Ingredients
 

  • 30 - 40 ready rolled, raw meatballs - totally ok to make your own if you prefer
  • 400 ml coconut cream
  • 1 tbsp Lime Juice
  • 1 tbsp fish sauce
  • 1 tbsp Brown sugar
  • 1/2 tbsp Cornflour
  • 100 grams Massaman Thai curry paste - I prefer Ayam
  • Optional Veg can be added : See notes below

Instructions
 

  • Combine coconut cream, lime juice, fish sauce, brown sugar, cornflour and Massaman paste and whisk to combine. Add this mix to slow cooker.
  • Add raw meatballs.
    You can safely stir the meatballs to combine etc after 2hrs of cooking time, they'll then be fully firm and won't break apart.

  • Cook on low for 4 hours.
  • Optional Vegetables
    We served with creamy mashed potato and roast vegetables. I also topped with fresh coriander.
    If you wish to add vegetables in with cooking:
    - Julienne carrot sticks or diced sweet potato can be added from the start
    - Cut green beans can be added in the final hour
    - Baby spinach leaves can be stirred in during the last 30mins
