What a nice change, these Moroccan Meatballs are really a very good spicy meatball!
Ingredients:
Meatballs:
1 egg
1 teaspoon turmeric
2 teaspoons paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon ginger OR 1 teaspoon fresh ginger root
1/3 cup shredded onion or chopped onion
1/4 cup chopped cilantro (fresh coriander leaf)
2 chopped garlic cloves
1/3 cup bread crumbs
1 and 1/2 pounds ground beef or lamb
Sauce:
3 cups diced onions
4 garlic cloves
1 teaspoon turmeric
2 cups beef broth
1/4 cup raisins
1 cinnamon stick
1/8 teaspoon saffron
28 ounce can of tomato sauce
Oil for frying
Lemon wedges for serving
Couscous for serving or rice for serving
I used a boxed couscous that comes with a flavor packet
I did not add any salt to the sauce, I think it can use 1/4 t of table salt or 1/2 t of coarse salt added to it.
I also simmered the meatballs in the sauce for 15 minutes.
I also made the meatballs and then cooked them the next day so that they could marinate, but that is not necessary.
Thank you for watching and reading all of this!

Michael, that sounds so delicious! I love the combination of flavors – it must have been rich and wonderful. Awesome.

Yeah, I modify things to bring them into 'compliance' but still get the flavor.. In the case of this dish, it's all about the amazing combinations of spices and those are metabolism boosters, so good for me. Thanks Michael.
