Moroccan lamb meatballs with spiced tomato sauce

2021-02-20T12:52:00.006+01:00

Moroccan lamb meatballs with spiced tomato sauce

Meatballs in a red sauce are a classic combo that pops up in cuisines all over the world, from Italian pork meatballs in marinara sauce to Spanish albóndigas in chunky romesco sauce. Although meatballs are not a traditional dish of Morocco, the presence of mint, parsley, cinnamon and cumin in these gives them a strong North African accent. If you make a double batch, you’ll have leftovers for a quick weeknight meal later this month. The tomato sauce can be refrigerated for up to 1 week or frozen for up to 1 month. The meatballs can be formed and refrigerated overnight or frozen for up to 1 month. To freeze, arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze for 2 hours before transferring to a sealable plastic bag. Defrost overnight in the refrigerator before baking.

Ingredients :

For the tomato sauce:

2 Tbs. olive oil
1/2 small yellow onion, chopped
2-inch (5-cm) piece of fresh ginger, peeled and grated
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 Tbs. ground cumin
1 Tbs. ground coriander
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 can (28 oz./875 g) crushed tomatoes
1 Tbs. firmly packed brown sugar
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 Tbs. chopped fresh mint leaves

For the meatballs:

Olive oil for greasing
1 1/2 lb. (750 g) ground lamb
1/4 cup (1/3 oz./10 g) chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
1 egg
1 Tbs. ground cumin
1 Tbs. ground coriander
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. dried oregano
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 cups (9 oz./280 g) Israeli couscous

Moroccan lamb meatballs with spiced tomato sauce

Directions :

1. To make the tomato sauce, in a saucepan over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the ginger, garlic, cumin, coriander and cinnamon and sauté just until the ginger and garlic are soft and the spices are toasted, about 2 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes with their juices and the brown sugar. Raise the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the sauce darkens in color and thickens a bit, about 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and stir in the mint. Reduce the heat to low and cover to keep warm.

2. Preheat an oven to 350°F (180°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet with olive oil.

3. In a bowl, combine the lamb, parsley, egg, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, garlic powder and oregano. Using your hands, mix gently until combined (do not overmix). Season well with salt and pepper. Form the lamb mixture into meatballs about the size of a golf ball, arranging them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet as you work. Transfer to the oven and bake until the meatballs are cooked through, 15 to 18 minutes.

4. While the meatballs are baking, cook the couscous according to the package directions. Cover to keep warm.

5. Spoon the couscous, tomato sauce and meatballs into shallow bowls and serve immediately. Serves 4 to 6.

1 cup milk (whole or whatever you have on hand)
1 lb ground lamb (or ground beef if you aren’t a fan of lamb)
1/2 lb ground beef
1 large egg
6 medium garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
1 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 1/2 teaspoon ground tumeric
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
4 tablespoons chopped Italian parsley, divided
4 tablespoons chopped cilantro, divided
4 tablespoons chopped scallions (green onions), divided
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup olive oil

Sauce :

3 tablespoons olive oil
2 medium-sized yellow onion, chopped
6 medium garlic cloves, minced
6 oz tomato paste
2 1-inch cinnamon sticks
pinch of saffron, crumbled in your fingers
4 1/2 cups chicken broth
salt and pepper to taste

Couscous :

2 cups Israel couscous
1/2 cup golden raisins
2 tablespoon olive oil
salt and pepper to taste

Mediterranean meatballs, a lamb meatball recipe with tunisian spices

Directions :

1. Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Place the cubed bread onto a baking sheet and toast in the oven for 10-15 minutes or until the bread has dried out but not browned. While the bread is toasting make the sauce.

2. Place the oil in a large wide skillet or pot and heat until shimmering. Reduce heat to medium and add the onions and cook until the onions start to soften, about 5 minutes. Once they start to soften, add the garlic, tomato paste, cinnamon sticks and saffron. Stir and cook for about a minute, then season generously with salt and pepper. Add the broth, stir to incorporate, cook on medium high heat until boiling. The sauce will look thin. Lower heat to a simmer and then cover while you make the meatballs, stirring occasionally.

3. Once the bread is toasted, remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Move bread to a large bowl and drizzle milk over bread, tossing and mixing until the milk is absorbed. Add both meats, egg, garlic, salt and pepper and spices to bread. Add 3 tablespoons of the parsley, cilantro and scallions, reserving the 1 tablespoon each for garnish at tend. Using your hands mix and massage the mixture until all the ingredients are evenly distributed. Roll the mixture into golf ball size meatballs then toss half the balls in the flour to coat. In a large pan, add the oil and heat until shimmering then pan fry half the meatballs, turning until they are brown on all sides, about 2 minutes per side. They don’t need to be completely cooked through, just brown. Move the browned meatballs to the simmering sauce, and repeat with the remaining meat, first forming the balls, then coating in flour and frying, then moving to the sauce. Increase the heat to medium and simmer the balls for 20-25 minutes or until the meatballs are tender and cooked through. Taste the sauce and adjust the salt, pepper and cayenne for heat if you want.

4. While the meatballs are simmering, make the couscous as directed by the package. While the couscous and meatballs are cooking, pour boiling water over the raisins and let soak to plump up. Once the cous cous is done, drizzle the olive oil over it and then drain the raisins and add them as well. Stir together and season with salt and pepper to taste. Once the meatballs are done, spoon the couscous into bowls and cover with meatballs and sauce. Sprinkle parsley, cilantro and scallions over the top and serve immediately.

Roasted chicken thighs with lemon, thyme and rosemary

2021-02-08T09:42:00.005+01:00

Roasted chicken thighs with lemon, thyme and rosemary

The ease and deliciousness of this recipe, from the chef Nancy Silverton's cookbook "Mozza at Home," deserves to be emphasized. Though you need several hours of refrigeration to allow the chicken skin to dry out, which makes it crisp, you can be flexible about it; do what’s convenient. No matter what, just be sure to pat the skin dry with paper towels. You may also find the final run under the broiler unnecessary. Use your judgment. And also consider swirling in a good splash of white wine or chicken stock to the juices in the baking dish before spooning them on the chicken.

Ingredients :

12 chicken thighs, bone in and skin on
1 medium onion, peeled, quartered vertically and sliced 1/4-inch thick vertically
1 cup peeled garlic cloves (about 40)
1 lemon cut in 1/4-inch-thick slices, seeded
15 fresh thyme sprigs
4 (3-inch) rosemary sprigs
2 tablespoons kosher salt, or to taste
2 teaspoons ground black pepper

Roasted chicken thighs with lemon, thyme and rosemary

Preparation :

Pat chicken thighs dry and place, skin side up, in a single layer on a baking sheet. Place in refrigerator, uncovered, for 8 hours or overnight to dry skin. Remove chicken from refrigerator at least 45 minutes before cooking.
Heat oven to 500 degrees. Spread onion slices and garlic cloves in a baking dish that can hold the chicken snugly in a single layer. Scatter lemon on the onion-garlic mixture and strew with thyme and rosemary sprigs.
Remove chicken from baking sheet and place on several layers of paper towels, skin side down. Sprinkle with half the salt and pepper. Turn thighs over and season with remaining salt and pepper. Transfer to the baking dish skin side up. Use your hands to arrange the bed of onions and garlic so they’re completely under the chicken.
Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, until juices run clear when chicken is pierced with a knife point. If skin is not a deep golden brown and crispy, turn on broiler and broil chicken close to heat a few minutes to crisp and brown it.
To serve, move chicken off the bed of onions, garlic, lemon and herbs. Discard lemon and spoon the rest of the ingredients, along with pan juices, onto a serving platter. Place chicken on top and serve.
