Sauté garlic with olive oil in a frying pan for 2-3 minutes, making sure you closely watch the garlic so it doesn’t burn.
Add the Harissa while continuing to cook and mix for another minute.
Add the grated tomatoes and season with salt. Bring to a boil and let simmer for 10 minutes.
Quails Eggs
Boil a pot of water and cook the quail eggs for 4 minutes. Peel them and set aside.
Meatballs
Soak the white bread in water, squeeze the liquid out and grate.
In a bowl, knead well the meat, bread, egg, cumin, cinnamon, salt, pepper and Harissa. Gently roll meat mixture into 15 equal-sized balls.
Place 1 quail egg in the center of each meat portion and gently shape into balls.
Place in the tomato sauce and cook for 15 minutes until meatballs are fully cooked. Salt and pepper to taste.
Notes
If you feel like going the extra mile, serve it with thinly sliced fried garlic, a nice crunchy element. Alternately, you can serve over rice, couscous or just with a nice piece of fresh bread on the side!Enjoy these surprisingly delicious Meatballs from our good friends at NYShuk and let us know what you think!
