MEATBALLS WITH CHICK PEAS & PRESERVED LEMON -- MOROCCO



Meatballs With Chick Peas & Preserved Lemon -- Morocco image

This recipe is one of my family's all time favourite meals. We used to make this with ground lamb or beef but decided that it was healthier (& just as tasty) to use chicken instead. You need plenty of fresh crusty bread to mop the delicious sauce up with. Sometimes I double up on the meatball ingredients & freeze half of the prepared meatballs to make it easier next time I cook this dish!

Time 2h30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 22

3 cups ground chicken
1 medium brown onion, grated (on very finely chopped)
4 slices wholemeal bread (store bought, or use 3 slices of homemade)
3 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
3 tablespoons fresh cilantro, finely chopped
2 teaspoons ras el hanout spice mix
1 beaten egg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 pinch black pepper
olive oil or sunflower oil (for frying)
1 medium onion, finely chopped
400 g canned chick-peas, rinsed & drained
1/2-1 preserved lemon
2 liters water
1 chicken stock cube
6 tablespoons fresh cilantro
3 tablespoons fresh parsley
4 teaspoons ras el hanout spice mix
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon cayenne
salt
olive oil or sunflower oil (for frying)

Steps:

  • To Make The Meatballs:.
  • Tear the bread into tiny pieces - to make breadcrumbs.
  • In a large bowl, mix all of the meatball ingredients. Use your hands to squich the mixture together until it is mixed really well (I usually wear gloves to do this!).
  • Allow the mixture to stand for 5 minutes then taking a tablespoon at a time, roll into meatballs.
  • Gently fry them in a little olive oil or sunflower oil, until they are golden on all sides. Drain on kitchen paper & set aside.
  • To Make The Sauce:.
  • Fry the onion in a little oil. When it is a pale golden colour, add the spices & cook for a further minute.
  • Remove the flesh from the preserved lemon. Wash well to remove some of the saltiness then cut very finely. Add the lemon & the rest of the ingredients (except the cilantro & the lemon juice) to the pan.
  • Cover & simmer for 1 hour.
  • After an hour, remove the lid. Reduce the sauce until you have just enough to serve the meatballs in - you don't want too much but you don't want to serve dry meatballs either! When the sauce is the right consistency, add the cilantro & lemon juice & cook for a minute.
  • Sprinkle more finely chopped cilantro over the top & serve.
