Moroccan Lentil Meatballs with Roasted Red Pepper Sauce

I would use a mild harissa as the dish was too spicy! But otherwise very good!

My texture was off and the balls kinda fell apart, but the flavor was good. May try more breadcrumbs and baking them next time.

Very nice, but after a few tries, I added only 0.5 tbsp of harissa (2 spoons was too much for us) and it worked great!

1. Used an 18 oz can lentils so could’ve added a bit more breadcrumbs (and 2 eggs). 2. Roasted 1 head of garlic and 4 red peppers first and used that for the sauce. Added parm to the sauce too! (Added some red lentils, roasted/sautéed onions, and soaked cashews to bulk up the sauce once too! (Omitted harissa for toddler) 3. Can make the couscous in veggie stock for more flavour or sub naan bread for the couscous. 4. Baked lentil balls instead of frying - 375F for 15 min (spray/drizzle with olive oil before baking)

Sauce was good. Everything else is poorly balanced.

Next time, double the recipe. I made 1 cup dry lentils, cooked in broth for 30 min, and only used half in the balls. It was so good, we ate it all in 1 meal, need to double for leftovers.

Tasty but a lot of effort and pans involved. Not the best recipe for a week night!

Wow! The roasted pepper sauce tasted amazing and it complemented the lentil meatballs really well.

Tasted great! I added about a 1/2 cup more breadcrumbs for a coarser texture. I suggest oven baking and then frying for a crisper texture

Added tinned tomatoes to sauce to bulk out

While cooking wasn’t convinced but when all came together was very nice. Did need to double up for 5 of us

This is great! I had to add more breadcrumbs to my "dough" but the end result was really tasty. I'm not sure if it really makes enough sauce I would double it. Also be aware how hot your harissa is and determine how much is good to add.

Delicious! Instead of pan frying, I baked for about 20 minutes. Flipped them after 10 min. Then checked often for the last 10 min to avoid burning. Great flavors.

This recipe sounded like a lot of effort (food processor = effort) but it really wasn't and it was TOTALLY worth it. All done in 30 minutes and so tasty! Really delicious. Definitely going on rotation. Excuse the photo, I failed to make it look pretty. Also, yes, my couscous is grey. It's wholewheat 🤷🤣

Nice and easy recipe! I had half the quantity of the peppers, so I cooked it with some tomato sauce. I made it less spicy and it was still very tasty.

Absolutely delicious! The sauce didn't go quite as far as I hoped so next time I'd probably double the sauce ingredients. Delicious, quick and so filling!

Used an extra 4 oz red peppers and omitted harissa to make friendly for little who hates spicy food. Had an extra half cup of lentils, so needed to add about 2x bread crumbs. Made about 20 balls. Really good!
