Moroccan meatballs are a delightful fusion of spices and hearty ingredients, creating a flavorful and aromatic dish. Perfect for any meal, these meatballs combine ground beef with a blend of spices such as cumin, paprika, and cinnamon, then simmered in a rich tomato sauce. This recipe will guide you through the steps to create these delicious meatballs, bringing the exotic flavors of Morocco to your kitchen.
- Use fresh coriander leaves for enhanced flavor, but if you don't have them, dried coriander will also work.
- Make sure to finely chop the red onion and garlic cloves to ensure they evenly mix into the meatball mixture.
- If the meatball mixture feels too wet, add a bit more bread crumbs to bind it together.
- Brown the meatballs in a hot pan before simmering them in the sauce to lock in the juices and add extra flavor.
- Allow the meatballs to simmer in the sauce for at least 30 minutes to fully develop the flavors.
- Serve the Moroccan meatballs over couscous or with warm flatbread to soak up the delicious sauce.
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili flakes to the meatball mixture or the sauce.
