I enjoy Moroccan Meatballs and this recipe was similar to one I tried many years ago. All the spices and simple cooking method makes this an easy dish for any evening.
Ingredients
- 400 G Beef Mince
- 400 G Tomate Triturado
- 1 Garlic Clove
- 2 Eggs
- Olive Oil
- 1 Tsp Sugar
- Fresh Coriander
- Tagine Spices (Ground, Toasted Cumin, Sweet Paprika, Onion Powder, Garlic Powder, Ground Coriander, Salt, Black Pepper, Mint, Cinnamon, Mustard Seeds, Clove, Tumeric, Fennel, Nutmeg)
Method
In a large bowl, mix the meat with two tablespoons of the tagine spices, a drizzle of oil and roll out the meat into meatballs in the palm of your hand. You should be able to get 12 – 14 balls.
Briefly fry the outside of the meatballs and remove from the heat.

Chop the garlic, very finely, and fry with a bit of oil. Pour in the tomato and mix with a teaspoon of sugar and a tablespoon of the spices.
Once the sauce thickens, beat two eggs in a bowl and pour onto the mixture, keeping it from mixing in. Lay the meatballs in and around the sauce and place the dish in the oven at 180°C for 10 – 15 minutes. Serve with chopped coriander.
