Ingredients

1 tbsp olive oil, plus extra to serve
500g lamb meatballs
1 onion, finely sliced
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 large carrot, roughly chopped
1.5 tbsp Shemin’s Harissa Spice Blend (adjust to taste)
400g tin butter beans, drained and rinsed
400g tin chopped tomatoes
1 tsp clear honey
Natural yogurt & chopped fresh parsley, to serve
Optional: couscous, rice, or flatbreads

How to make Harissa Meatballs with Beans & Tomato

Brown the Meatballs: Heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan or shallow casserole over high heat. Add the meatballs and fry for 5–8 mins until browned. Scoop out and set aside.
Build the Flavour: Lower the heat, add the onion, garlic and carrot with a pinch of salt. Cook for 10 mins, stirring often, until softened. Return the meatballs to the pan, sprinkle in Shemin’s Harissa Spice Blend, and cook for 2 mins to toast the spices.
Simmer the Stew: Add the beans, chopped tomatoes and honey. Half-fill the tomato tin with water and add that too. Stir well, bring to a gentle simmer, cover, and cook for 20 mins.
Finish & Serve: Uncover and cook for another 10 mins, or until the meatballs are cooked through. Drizzle with olive oil and serve with natural yogurt, parsley, and your choice of sides.

Tips

Tips:

Mix Up the Meatballs: This recipe works beautifully with beef, turkey, chicken, or plant-based meatballs – Shemin’s Harissa Spice Blend adds bold flavour to them all.
Balance the Heat: Stir through a spoonful of natural yogurt or a squeeze of lemon at the end to mellow the spice and lift the flavours.
Spice Swap Ideas: You can use any of Shemin’s Spice Blends in this recipe.
Boost the Base: Add a little tomato purée when cooking for a richer, deeper sauce.
Serving Suggestion: Serve with warm Shemin’s Indian Breads, fluffy couscous, or your favourite rice for a complete meal.
