• 6 organic chicken drumsticks
• 6 organic chicken thighs
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 tomatoes, quartered
• 3 garlic cloves, chopped
• 1/3 cup vegetable or chicken stock
• 2 tbs Red Mina Harissa
• 2 tsp coriander powder
• 2 tsp cumin powder
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon powder
• 1/2 tsp cardamon powder

• 2 tbsp tomato puree
• 15 oz canned chick peas

Set the slow cooker on high and cook the chicken for 3 hours. After the 3 hours add the rest of the ingredients. Cook for another hour on high.

NOTE: I added 3 tsp of arrowroot powder mixed with two tablespoons of water to thicken my sauce the last 2-3 minutes of cooking. You can also use cornstarch instead of arrowroot powder.

I was afraid that my kids would reject these burgers because of the spiciness of Mina Harissa, however, they didn’t even mentioned a thing. They devoured these burgers in no time. It wasn’t that spicy at all because I only added two tablespoons to the burger mixture. If you like it extra spicy I suggest you add more!

My husband really appreciated the burgers. It don’t cook meat too often so when I do he really enjoys it. I mean he ate two of the burgers so I am sure they were of his liking! I think he even poured half the Harissa jar sauce over his burgers. He likes his food extra spicy!

What I love most about Mina Harissa is the fact that is made with natural ingredients. No preservatives, colorants or weird ingredients which is right up my alley being a dietitian.

When you get to make these Harissa beef burgers there isn’t an specific way of serving them. I used bean sprouts, tons of onions and cheese but you can use sliced tomatoes or any other toppings of your choice.

Mina Harissa has also provided me with 3 Mina Harissa packs for three Eat Good 4 Life readers.
