Harissa is spicy chili paste that adds a ton of flavor to any dish.
Here,
we add it to meatballs and red sauce for some extra heat. You can
always add less if you prefer, especially if your harissa already comes
on the spicier side. Serve these as is or over rice for an easy dinner.
Spice not your thing? Try our Garlic Butter Meatballs instead.
Kitchen Tip: The meatballs are a little wet to work with. Adding
more bread crumbs would dry them out too much so we recommend
wetting your hands as you roll the meatballs. It'll help keep them from
sticking to you! S
