3. Whisk together all sauce ingredients in a medium bowl, except slivered onions. Set aside. Place half of the slivered onions in the bottom of a 5-quart slow cooker. Add several meatballs at a time to the bowl or sauce. Coat meatballs with sauce and transfer to slow cooker using a slotted spoon. Repeat until all meatballs are well coated. Pour remaining sauce over meatballs and sprinkle with remaining slivered onions.

4. Cover and cook on LOW setting for 4 to 6 hours. Strain and defat the cooking liquid. Serve as sauce on the side. Garnish with fresh cilantro.
