Harissa Chicken Meatballs

• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

1 pound ground chicken

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 cup frozen riced cauliflower

1/4 cup chopped onion

1/4 cup packed chopped parsley

3 large peeled garlic cloves (minced)

1 large egg

Olive-oil cooking spray

2 jars (10 oz each prepared mild harissa sauce, I love Mina Harissa)

Directions

Place chicken in a large mixing bowl, break- up slightly. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and smoked paprika.

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.

Heat a heavy-duty non-stick large skillet (with tall sides) over medium-high heat.

Spray with olive oil cooking spray, add meatballs and cook, turning occasionally to brown on all sides, about 6 minutes.

Pour in harissa and allow mixture to reach a simmer, reduce heat to medium-low and continue to simmer for 20 to 25 minutes.
