Harissa Chicken Meatballs

These Harissa Chicken Meatballs are a fun twist on meatballs. Plus, they’re low- carb, grain-free, and gluten-free since I use cauliflower rice instead of breadcrumbs.

Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 cup cauliflower frozen, riced
  • 1/4 cup onion chopped
  • 1/4 cup parsley packed, chopped
  • 3 garlic minced, large, peeled cloves
  • 1 egg large
  • olive oil cooking spray
  • 2 jars (10 oz each prepared mild harissa sauce (I love Mina Harissa))

Instructions

  1. Place chicken in a large mixing bowl, break- up slightly. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and smoked paprika.
  2. Add frozen cauliflower, parsley, onion, garlic, and egg and mix just until ingredients are combined.  Avoid over-mixing. Divide chicken mixture into 16 portions ( about 1 1/4 ounce each); gently shape into balls.
  3. Heat a heavy-duty non-stick large skillet (with tall sides) over medium-high heat.
  4. Spray with olive oil cooking spray, add meatballs and cook, turning occasionally to brown on all sides, about 6 minutes.
  5. Pour in harissa and allow mixture to reach a simmer, reduce heat to medium-low and continue to simmer for 20 to 25 minutes.

Notes

  • Refrigerate up to 4 days. Freeze up to 6 months.
