Ingredients
- 2 medium shallots diced
- 4 cloves garlic diced
- 1 lb ground beef or pork
- 1 tsp. garam masala
- ½ cup cilantro, finely chopped plus leaves for garnish
- 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt divided
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
- 3 tbsp vegetable oil divided
- ⅓ cup harissa paste (See Note 1)
- 13.5 oz can unsweetened coconut milk
Instructions
- Combine ground meat, garam masala, half of the shallots, half of the garlic, ½ cup cilantro, 1 teaspoon kosher salt and black pepper in a large bowl. Mix until just combined. Divide and roll into 12 balls.
- Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Cook meatballs, turning occasionally, until browned all over, 6–8 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
- Reduce heat to medium. Saute remaining shallots and garlic with remaining 2 tablespoons oil in skillet, stirring often, until garlic is softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in harissa paste, coconut milk, and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, and cook until slightly thickened, 6–8 minutes.
- Nestle meatballs into sauce; cover and cook 10 minutes. Turn meatballs over; cook, uncovered, occasionally spooning sauce over, until sauce is about the consistency of marinara, 8–10 minutes.
- Serve meatballs over steamed rice topped with the sauce. Scatter cilantro leaves over.
Notes
- Use 1/4 cup if you think the 1/3 cup harissa will be too spicy, but do give this a try. The flavor combination is incredible!
