Directions
The red peppers from the smoked paprika and harissa bring depth to these middle eastern inspired Harissa Chicken Meatballs. Ground chicken mixes with onion, garlic, paprika, parsley, salt, egg, and frozen cauliflower rice and then simmers in mild harissa sauce. Jarred harissa is a favorite ingredient of mine and one youll always find in my pantry. For more ways to use harissa, try my Harissa Shrimp and Chickpeas, Shredded Harissa Chicken, and Grilled Harissa Lamb Chops.,To make juicy chicken meatballs, dont over-mix the ground chicken mixture. Over-mixing will result in tough, dry meatballs. Also, in this recipe, I swap the breadcrumbs for cauliflower rice for extra moisture.,Serve the harissa meatballs over spiralized butternut squash noodles, spaghetti squash, or couscous. If you want to keep the meal low-carb, cauliflower rice would be tasty too. You could also eat the meatballs in a pita sprinkled with crumbled feta.,Lightly coat your hands with cooking spray when forming the meatballs to prevent sticking.,Sub ground turkey for ground chicken.,If you want to bulk up this dish a bit more, add a finely chopped carrot and a can of chickpeas to the sauce.,Refrigerate up to 4 days. Freeze up to 6 months.,1 tablespoon olive oil,2 large cloves garlic, peeled,12 ounce jar roasted peppers in water, drained,1/2 teaspoon cumin,1/2 teaspoon coriander
