I was SO excited to make this, and it did not dissapoint! I used lite coconut milk which I’m only mentioning because there seems to be some discourse about it. I did make two small changes: I had to double the panko because my meat mixture was way too loose to form balls. This was fine and they were still nice and juicy. I also sprinkled the bell pepper onto the whole thing at the beginning of the rice simmer time. I wanted it to to be nice and soft and this worked great for me, and it still looked pretty much exactly like the picture. I am a single person cooking for one, so this made two portions for now, and two for the freezer for handy meals later (froze cooked meatballs and rice together). Great recipe!

In reply to Michaela. One of our fav dinners, too! The meatballs won't quite get that brown "sear" in the oven, but you could bake them for about 8-10 minutes at 400 degrees F before adding them to the skillet to finish cooking with the rice.

This was absolutely delicious! So flavorful. And that coconut rice = chef’s kiss.
Just wondering, though, if there’s a way to do this in the oven? Our meatballs were a little smaller and took forever to brown; would be so much easier to chuck it in the oven! just don’t know temp / time … TIA!

Recipe sounds delicious, I admit I hating people post a review when they haven’t made the recipe, but I cook, and I can tell this will turn out good. When I personally make it. I’m going to substitute half coconut water for the light coconut milk. And I want to let everyone know that if you want to make this with brown rice but keep the cooking time the same, you can use sprouted brown rice (soaked overnight and then sprouted for 3 days), because sprouted brown rice is the same cooking time as white rice.
