Harissa Chicken Meatballs

These juicy meatballs just affirmed my love for Mediterranean food. The harissa gives them a nice spice that is balanced by the addition of dill. I loved mixing it all together with a high quality hummus, feta, and of course more harissa (I like it 🌶🌶🌶).

I served this dish with a cauliflower rice pilaf from @wholefoods + a cucumber salad that I consider Greek bruschetta. You could easily use couscous, or stuff in a fluffy pita!

Here’s how you make it.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground chicken

• 1/4 harissa

• 1/4 almond flour

• 1 egg

• 1/4 onion diced

• 3 cloves garlic minced

• 1 tablespoon dill chopped

• 1/2 cucumber diced

• 1 shallot diced

• 1 lemon juiced

• 1/4 cup olive oil + more for serving

• 1 cup arugula

• Hummus

• Cauliflower rice

• Salt and pepper

Instructions:

• Heat the oven to 400. Mix the chicken, harissa, flour, egg, dill, garlic, onion, salt and pepper in a bowl. Divide into meatballs on a baking sheet (12-14) and bake for 20 minutes.

• Mix the cucumber, shallot, arugula, lemon, and olive oil in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. To serve add a nice swipe of hummus, cauliflower rice, salad, and meatballs. Top with feta, olive oil, dill, and more lemon. Enjoy!
