Spiced Meatballs & Moroccan Medley
A delicious and easy meal using our Moroccan Medley Couscous.
Method
Place the lamb, salt, onion, garlic, cumin, allspice, cayenne, parsley and coriander in a food processor and whizz until well blended. Using wet hands, shape the mixture into 10 meatballs and cook over hot coals or in a non-stick frying pan for 8-10 minutes, turning frequently until well browned.
Meanwhile whisk together the ingredients for the dressing and loosen with a little water to make a smooth dressing. Season with salt & pepper and add a pinch of chilli flakes.
Prepare the couscous according to the packet instructions, fluff with a fork and stir through the chopped tomatoes, fresh parsley and mint.
Arrange the meatballs on top of the Moroccan Medley Couscous and drizzle over some of the Tahini dressing.
