Skillet Meatballs with Persimmon, Basil and Lime

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Prepare rice in your rice cooker. In a small bowl, mix broth, ginger, garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

2. Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high with olive oil. Add Carando Abruzzese Meatballs and cook until browned all over, 5 to 7 minutes.

3. Add the garlic-ginger mixture to the meatballs and cook until meatballs are browned. Add the persimmons and cook for several minutes.

4. Transfer the skillet into the oven and bake for 8 minutes or until the internal temperature of the meatballs reaches 185 degrees.

5. Add the red onions to the pan and sauté for 1-2 minutes. Toss everything together, then squeeze lemon juice over the dish. Add salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with fresh basil. Serve over cooked rice.
