How to Make Kofte Chorizo Stew Moroccan

  1. **Prepare the Kofta:** In a large bowl, gently combine 500g ground lamb or beef with 1 finely chopped onion, 1 finely chopped red chili (deseeded for less heat), 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp ground coriander, ½ tsp turmeric, ½ tsp cinnamon, and ½ cup chopped fresh coriander.
  2. Add 1 large egg to the meat mixture and season generously with salt and pepper. Mix everything thoroughly with clean hands until well combined.
  3. Shape the mixture into 1-inch meatballs.
  4. **Start the Stew:** Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the kofta meatballs and 200g chopped chorizo sausage on all sides. Remove and set aside.
  5. Add 2 tbsp harissa paste to the pan and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, to release its flavour.
  6. Stir in 1 (400g) can of chopped tomatoes, 500ml chicken stock, and ½ tsp ground cinnamon. Bring to a simmer.
  7. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
  8. Return the meatballs and chorizo to the pan. Cover and simmer for another 20 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
  9. Stir in the remaining ¼ cup chopped fresh coriander before serving.
  10. Serve hot over fluffy garlic buttered rice.
