Moroccan meatballs in a spiced tomato sauce

HERE'S HOW WE MAKE IT

This is a delicious twist on our usual meatballs, using ground beef mixed with sweet spices - cumin, coriander, cinnamon and paprika, lots of fresh herbs - mint, coriander and parsley and toasted slivered almonds.

After browning the meatballs in the oven, we simmer in them in tomato sauce flavoured with garlic, saffron, cinnamon, a hint of chilli and finished with chopped coriander.

We'd serve this dish over the top of cous cous with harissa on the side and extra coriander and a squeeze of lime sprinkled over the top. Rice, flat bread or even mash would all be fine too. Or simply serve with a leafy green salad.
