This fragrant dinner will have mouths watering before it even gets to the table. The meatballs are spiced to perfection with the perfect balance of sweetness from the honey and spiciness from the harissa. But what is harissa and what does it taste like? Harissa is a chilli pepper paste from North Africa, a region known as ‘Maghreb’. This deliciously spicy chilli condiment is available as a paste, but making your own only takes 10 minutes with this super easy harissa recipe. Adding harissa to staple meals is currently a bit of an addiction for me (just take a look at how good this honey harissa barramundi tray bake looks!), but adding it to meatballs is definitely a game changer. What’s more, the lemon rice is the perfect addition to the delicious meatballs - I love to match the tang of the harissa and garlic with the tang of lemon in the rice!
