  • 2 cloves garlic crushed
  • 2 chopped peeled tomatoes 400 gm tins, multiple
  • 200 ml chicken stock or lamb stock
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 chili flakes again I used smoked, tsp
  • salt to taste
  • Coriander fresh, aka cilantro, to garnish
  • couscous herbed
  • 200 couscous I prefer wholewheat couscous, it's tastier and better for you, grams

Instructions

  1. Mix all the ingredients for the meatballs together in a bowl until well combined. Use your hands if possible
  2. Roll into smallish meatballs
  3. Heat the olive oil in a non-stick pan and fry the meatballs in batches until nicely browned on all sides then set aside
  4. Lightly fry the onions, garlic and spice ingredients for the sauce in the meatball pan (with a dash more olive oil) until softened - about 5 minutes.
  5. Add the tomatoes and the stock. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer - cook for about 10 minutes until slightly thickened
  6. Add the meatballs back into the sauce and allow them to finish off cooking - about 8 - 10 minutes depending on how big your meatballs are
  7. To make the couscous, pour the hot stock and olive oil over the grains in a bowl. Cover and allow to stand until all the water has been absorbed.  Fluff up with a fork and mix in the freshly chopped herbs to serve.
  8. Scatter over some roughly chopped coriander to bring in more freshness.
