Meatball Tagine with Onions and Raisins

Meatball Tagine with Onions and Raisins

Once upon a time there were onions and raisins.

There was ground chicken and pumpkin pie spice.

And there was a girl. A passionate girl who comes from a faraway land. And so this dish, inspired by the flavors of her homeland, was born for her readers to enjoy.

Meatball Tagine with Onions and Raisins Recipe

4 servings

For the meatballs

  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (buy or make)
  • Sea salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 2 tablespoons grated onions
  • 1 egg yolk

For the sauce

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small onion, cut into thin strips
  • ½ cup raisins
  • ½ cup water
  • ½ cup half and a half (optional)

In a medium bowl, combine the ground chicken with the pumpkin pie spice, salt, pepper, grated onion, and egg yolk. Shape into medium meatballs the size of a small plum.

Place the olive oil and onions in a medium/large pot or tagine over medium heat. Cook the onions until they’re translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the meatballs and sauté them, turning occasionally, about 5 minutes.

Add the water, cover with a lid and cook for 10 minutes.

Add the half and half and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Serve warm. If you wish, serve it with a dollop of strawberry or fig jam.
