Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 20

10 dried red chile peppers
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
3 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground caraway seeds
½ teaspoon ground cumin
1 bunch fresh cilantro, or to taste
1 ⅓ pounds ground beef
1 onion, finely chopped
1 fresh red chile pepper, finely chopped
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 egg
½ teaspoon sea salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 (16 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (14.5 ounce) can chicken stock
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 links Merguez sausage, cut into pieces

Steps:

  • Soak dried chile peppers in hot water for 30 minutes. Drain. Remove stems and seeds.
  • Blend chiles with 2 tablespoons olive oil, garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a food processor. Add coriander, caraway seeds, and cumin; blend to form a smooth paste. Transfer to an airtight container. Drizzle about 2 tablespoons olive oil on top to keep fresh.
  • Chop 1/2 of the cilantro and stem the rest. Combine chopped cilantro with beef, onion, cilantro, fresh chile, cumin, and cloves. Add egg and sea salt; mix to combine. Form into about 26 small meatballs, each about the size of a walnut.
  • Heat olive oil in a large frying pan. Fry meatballs in batches until browned all over, about 5 minutes. Remove meatballs and add 2 tablespoons harissa to the pan; cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add tomatoes, chicken stock, and cinnamon. Simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Return meatballs to the pan and stir in sausage. Simmer until sausage is heated through and no longer pink in the center, about 20 minutes. Stir in remaining cilantro.
