Harissa Meatballs with Yoghurt Dip
Prep time:50 mins- Cook time:10 mins
Servings:16
These spicy meatballs and dip are great as a party finger food, or can be served with a salad for a light meal. Meatballs will often contain breadcrumbs or flour to bind them, which increases the carb content and may affect blood sugars. Instead, we use ground almonds to keep the carbs low. Serve with a tangy Greek yoghurt dip!
