Koufteh Ghelgheli

We don't know about you, but we've been loving traditional recipes lately. From Norwegian pancakes to chana masala, we've been cooking up all kinds of delicious traditional dishes from all around the globe. Next up on our need-to-make-immediately list is Koufteh Ghelgheli, an Iranian dish comprised of lamb meatballs with carrots, potatoes, and overall deliciousness. A hearty and warm-you-to-your-toes kind of meal, this Middle Eastern recipe should definitely be in your weekly rotation.

Ingredients:

Meatballs:
  • 1 pound ground lamb
  • 1 yellow onion, finely grated
  • 1/3 cup chickpea flour
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon ground turmeric
  • 2 teaspoons black pepper, freshly ground
Carrots and Potatoes:
  • 1/4 cup avocado oil
  • 1 yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons ground turmeric
  • 2 teaspoons black pepper, freshly ground
  • 3 cups water
  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 4 carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch rounds
  • 4 small gold potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • Chopped parsley, for serving

Directions:

  1. To make the meatballs, place all ingredients into a large mixing bowl and mix well using your hands. Form into balls using a tablespoon, place on a plate, and set aside.
  2. In a large, deep skillet, add oil to the bottom of the pan and heat to medium heat. Once oil is hot, add in chopped onion and salt. Stir occasionally until golden brown, about 10-15 minutes. Add in ground turmeric and stir to mix well and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  3. Add water to the skillet and increase heat to medium-high heat. Add in lemon juice and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then lower heat to maintain a simmer. Add in meatballs and cook for 5 minutes, turning over once for even cooking. Next, add in carrots and potatoes, stirring gently so that they are evenly distributed in the skillet.
  4. Bring mixture back up to a boil, then reduce heat to low and keep at a simmer for one hour until the meatballs are done, vegetables are fork-tender, and sauce has reduced down and thickened.
  5. Serve hot with chopped parsley on top.

Despite Controversy, Ariana Grande's "Heart Is Very Happy" When It Comes To Boyfriend Ethan Slater

I can totally understand falling for a costar. One scene gazing into each other's eyes, and (as the kids say), I'd be asking, "What are we?" Zendaya & Tom Holland and Ashley Park & Paul Forman both met on the sets of their most famous projects (Spider-Man and Emily in Paris, in case you were wondering), and this year's biggest movie event also features a brand new celebrity couple: Ariana Grande & Ethan Slater.

The co-stars made headlines when they ended their respective marriages and started dating each other, and Ethan Slater finally spoke out on the response to their relationship. Here's what he had to say, and the latest news on this couple.

Keep reading for the latest news on Ariana Grande & Ethan Slater's relationship.

  • Ariana Grande & Ethan Slater met on the set of Wicked, in theaters November 22.

After People reported Ariana and Ethan were now in a relationship of their own, Lilly told Page Six that “[Ariana’s] the story, really. Not a girl’s girl. My family is just collateral damage.” However, other sources claim Lilly and Ethan had been separated for a couple months before his relationship with Ariana started.

August 2, 2023 — Ethan Slater & Ariana Grande Are Moving Fast

[But] if it were up to her, she’d be seen with him tomorrow.”

Another reemphasizes that Ariana and Ethan only started dating after they were separated from their spouses, while a third adds, “They are doing their best to balance the fact that they are in the public eye with the desire to be respectful to all parties involved.”

There is no one on this earth with a better heart...I’m 31 years old and I’m not a perfect person, but I am definitely deeply good, and I’m proud of who I’m becoming. I will never let disreputable evil tabloids ruin my life or my perception of what is real and good.”

October 30, 2024 — Ethan Slater Finally Speaks Out About His Relationship With Ariana Grande

Almost two years after meeting Ariana Grande, Ethan Slater finally opened up about their relationship in a new interview with GQ. “Obviously, it was a really super big year and I think there was something that was really difficult about things in your private life being commented on and looked at by the public," he says. "There were a lot of big changes in private lives that were really happening, so it’s really hard to see people who don’t know anything about what’s happening commenting on it and speculating, and then getting things wrong about the people you love. So just to address that part of it, that feels really hard."

But the clouds also came with silver linings. “Of course, it was an amazing year and a really beautiful thing, and I’m just really excited," he continues. "I’m just really, really proud of Ari and the work she’s done on this. She’s poured herself into it. I’m really proud that I got to be there for that part of it, and I’m really excited to be there for this next step of it when the world gets to see the amazing thing that she did.”

November 11, 2024 — Ethan Slater Praises Ariana Grande's Comedy Acting Chops

In an exclusive interview with Brit + Co, Ethan Slater couldn't stop hyping up Ari's humor. And if you saw her hosting SNL, then you definitely understand. "I cannot wait for like the roll out of everything that Bowen said that isn't in the movie, or Ari, honestly, said that isn't in the movie. Just take after take," he says. "The moments where somebody broke, it was always great. There's one that's seared into my memory of, in Doctor Dillamond's classroom, I don't remember what Ari said but she got Cynthia [Erivo] and it's just the two of them across the way and they're staring at each other and she got her so good. There's something really wonderful about breaking. It's delightful."

He also praised Ariana and Cynthia for how they welcomed the rest of the cast their first days on set. "[They] would hug everyone who came in," he continues. "This huge movie is something that we've been waiting for for 20 years on a big scale with the biggest stars in the world, it could have felt really intimidating and it felt really familial immediately."

41 Thanksgiving-Approved Homemade Mac and Cheese Recipes

When it comes to Thanksgiving, everyone usually knows who's making what. Grandma handles her famous desserts. Your aunt always comes in clutch with the green bean casserole.

John Krasinski Is PEOPLE's Sexiest Man Alive — & Emily Blunt Has THOUGHTS

It's official: John Krasinski is now PEOPLE's Sexiest Man Alive for 2024. If you ask us, John Krasinski will always be Jim from The Office, but I think this new distinction will do just fine, too. Last year Patrick Dempsey won the top spot, giving us silver fox sex appeal, and we love that PEOPLE went in a different direction with our favorite actor-director this time. Here's everything to know about this fine gentleman — including what his wife, Emily Blunt, has to say about it all.

Scroll to learn about PEOPLE's Sexiest Man Alive for 2024!

John Krasinski shares his thoughts on being PEOPLE's Sexiest Man Alive

Amy Sussman/Getty Images

No one knows how to do dead-pan humor like John Krasinski (unless your name is Ryan Reynolds, of course 😉). His response to winning was, "Just immediate blackout, actually. Zero thoughts," (via PEOPLE). He followed up with, "That's not how I wake up, thinking, ‘Is this the day that I'll be asked to be Sexiest Man Alive?’ And yet it was the day you guys did it. You guys have really raised the bar for me."

Of course Emily Blunt couldn't resist making a little joke...

We know Emily Blunt has a great sense of humor too, so it comes as no surprise that she had a little something to say to John about his new title. Besides being "very excited" about his win, she apparently told him she'd willingly plaster his face all over their home, wallpaper-style (via PEOPLE). The Jack Ryan actor said, "My children will love that, it won’t be weird at all."

TODAY also reports the actor revealed Emily may pile on the housework given all this newfound attention. "I think it's going to make me do more household chores. After this comes out, she'll be like, ‘All right, that means you’re going to really earn it here at home.'" We don't see a problem with that!

Here's everything Sexiest Man Alive, John Krasinski is working on right now:

Jonny Cournoyer/Prime Video

He recently wrote, directed, and starred in this year's IF — a film Ryan Reynolds also appears in — which follows a young girl's introduction to a vast world of imaginary friends. It almost feels like the heartwarming TV show Foster's Home of Imaginary Friends, albeit the young girl is dealing with possibly losing her only living parent.

Next up, fans will get to see John star in Fountain of Youth alongside Natalie Portman, according to Deadline. They'll star as a brother and sister who are determined to claim the actual Fountain of Youth for themselves.

Deadline also reports that he'll take the lead role in the upcoming Jack Ryan film. A premiere date hasn't been announced yet, but we do know Amazon MGM Studios is behind it!
