It’s time for Eat the World and we’re heading to Morocco!
Some months I search and search before finding a recipe to make. This month, I found my recipe (actually two because I made Khobz Bread last week) almost immediately.
I found a recipe for meatballs in a spiced tomato sauce that I knew would be a hit. This real wild card was the addition of the eggs at the end of cooking, but the family was surprisingly accepting of the addition and even enjoyed it!

Heat a tablespoon of oil in a tagine or large lidded skillet. Add the meatballs in a single layer and lightly fry on all sides, move the meatballs to a plate and drain the pan.
Add the remaining oil. Add the onion, tomatoes, garlic and spices and bring to a simmer. Stir in the meatballs and simmer, uncovered for 10-15 minutes or until the meatballs are cooked through and sauce is thickened. Crack the eggs over the sauce. Cover and simmer for another 5 minutes or until the eggs are cooked.
Serve with Khobz Bread.

ReplyDeleteYay, another meatball recipe!!!
ReplyDeleteThose meatballs look great! I love how they're taken in a different direction from traditional with the addition of cumin and turmeric but yet have a tomato sauce base. Love the eggs, too!
ReplyDeleteThese look amazing and sounds like a comforting meal! The spices and the sauce is yum!
