- 2 Tbs dukkah
- 1 tsp cumin ground
- salt it needs a fair bit and pepper
- olive oil for frying
Sauce:
- 1 onion finely chopped
- 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
- olive oil I prefer using olive oil, or 50 grams of butter, a glug
- 350 ml chicken stock
- 1/2 parsley 2 T of chopped, bunch, chopped
- 1/2 Coriander 2 T of chopped, aka cilantro, bunch, chopped
Instructions
- Mix all the ingredients for the meatballs together in a bowl until well combined. Use your hands if possible
- Roll into smallish meatballs
- Heat the olive oil in a non-stick pan and fry the meatballs in batches until nicely browned on all sides then set aside
- 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.
- Add the tomatoes and the stock. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer - cook for about 10 minutes until slightly thickened
- 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
- 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.
- Scatter over some roughly chopped coriander to bring in more freshness.
