BEST HARISSA BRAND RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Rinse potatoes in a colander to remove excess starch. Drain.
• Place potatoes in a large microwave-safe bowl; add 1 tablespoon oil and salt and toss to coat. Cover and microwave on high for 4 minutes. Stir, cover again, and microwave until fork-tender, about 2 minutes more. Drain well.
• Spread potatoes on the lined baking sheet. Drizzle with remaining oil and toss to coat. Spread out in an even layer.
• Roast in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Stir and continue roasting until evenly browned, about 5 minutes more.
• Meanwhile, combine butter, harissa, cilantro, and lemon zest in the same bowl. Mash together with a fork. Taste and season with salt if needed. Add potatoes to the harissa butter and toss. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Finely chop shallots and garlic. Combine garam masala, half of the shallots, half of the garlic, ½ cup cilantro, and 1 tsp. Diamond Crystal or ½ tsp. Morton kosher salt in a large bowl; season with pepper. Add pork and mix gently until just combined. Divide into 12 pieces and roll into balls.
• Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Cook meatballs, turning occasionally, until browned in spots, 5–8 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• Reduce heat to medium; cook remaining shallots and garlic in skillet, stirring often, until garlic is softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in harissa paste, coconut milk, and 1 tsp. Diamond Crystal or ½ tsp. Morton kosher salt; season with pepper. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to medium-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.
• Meanwhile, heat remaining ¼ cup oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high. Add beans and ½ tsp. sumac; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring and mashing beans and adding up to ¼ cup water a little at a time to loosen if needed, until heated through and almost completely mashed, about 3 minutes.
• Divide beans among plates; top with meatballs and sauce. Scatter cilantro leaves and sumac over.
