MOROCCAN-SPICED CHICKEN MEATBALLS
Chicken meatballs may not be a traditionally Moroccan dish, but they work beautifully when spiced with paprika, cumin, cinnamon, ginger and garlic, which are commonly found in the country's cuisine. Whole-milk yogurt does double duty here: It's used to make the meatballs moist and tender, and makes for a speedy sauce to serve with them. Don't use ground chicken made with ultralean breasts; look for labels that show a mix of white and dark meat. (Or if you're feeling ambitious, grind your own boneless, skinless chicken thighs in the food processor.) Serve the meatballs with couscous and a green vegetable for a flavorful weeknight dinner that's well worth the effort.

Steps:
- First, make the yogurt sauce: Combine 1 cup of the yogurt, 1 teaspoon of the garlic, the lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt and black pepper to taste in a small bowl. Mix well, and chill until ready to use.
- Make the meatballs: In a large bowl, combine the remaining 1/3 cup yogurt, remaining 1 tablespoon garlic, chicken, panko, egg, parsley, olive oil, sugar, paprika, cumin, ginger, cinnamon, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and a few generous grinds of black pepper. Mix gently but thoroughly, until incorporated. Using an ice cream scoop or two spoons, form meatballs about 1 1/2-inches in diameter, then place them on a plate or sheet pan until ready to use.
- In a large skillet, heat 1/8-inch olive oil over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, fry the meatballs in batches, flipping occasionally, until browned all over and cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. (If the meatballs begin browning too quickly or the oil begins smoking, lower the heat.) Transfer the cooked meatballs to a paper towel-lined plate.
- To serve, spread the yogurt sauce in an even layer on a flat platter. Arrange the meatballs on top, and top with a sprinkle of chopped parsley and the pine nuts, if using. Serve hot.

Steps:
- Fry the onion in 1 tbsp oil until soft, then allow to cool. Mix with the breadcrumbs, mince, cinnamon, 1 egg, ½ tsp salt and lots of pepper, then shape into about 24 meatballs with wet hands. Fry in the remaining oil in a shallow pan for about 8 mins, moving them round until evenly browned. Lift out and set aside.
- Add the garlic to the oil left in the pan and fry until softened. Add the courgette, fry for 1-2 mins, then tip in the tomatoes, honey, ras el hanout, three-quarters of the coriander, seasoning and a couple of tbsp water. Stir and cook until pulpy.
- Stir in the chickpeas and add the meatballs. Make 4 hollows in the sauce, then break in the remaining eggs. Cover and cook for 4-8 mins over a low heat until the eggs are set. Scatter with coriander and serve straight from the pan with crusty bread for scooping up the sauce.

MOROCCAN MEATBALLS -- TAGINE KEFTA
I was taught how to make this recipe during a vacation in Morocco, where I was lucky enough to spend some time with the chef of a restaurant, Naima. In Morocco, people eat it straight out of the tagine with lots of bread to soak up the sauce but it also makes the best spaghetti and meatballs I've ever tasted! The key is to use the freshest, juciest tomatoes you can find. If you aren't lucky enough to have a tagine, you should be able to make this dish in a deep frying pan, as long as it has a cover. I think a non-stick pan would be best. One other thing, be careful of adding onions to this dish as they are very watery and will make the sauce runny. If you do add onions, you will probably have to let it simmer uncovered for a few minutes to reduce the sauce.

Steps:
- Mix all the ingredients for the sauce together in the tagine, cover and let simmer gently over a medium heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Meanwhile, use your hands to mix the ingredients for the meatballs together and then roll the meat into small balls, about 1 inch round.
- After the tomatoes have simmered for about 15 minutes, stir the sauce and add a little water if you feel it is needed.
- Place the meatballs in the sauce.
- Do not stir but just let them sit on top of the sauce.
- Lower the heat, cover and cook for another 8-10 minutes. Uncover and let simmer another couple minutes if you feel the sauce needs thickening.
- Serve with lots of crusty bread for dipping in the sauce or over spaghetti with parmesan cheese on top.
- If you want to make these ahead of time and freeze them, leave the parsley out and place the meatballs in a rigid container like a tupperware dish before freezing.
- To reheat, thaw in the fridge (you can do this overnight) and reheat on the stovetop over medium-low until bubbly. Add chopped parsley before serving.

- Heat oil over medium heat in a large heavy pot and sauté onions for 5 minutes, stirring often, until they start to soften. Add the spices: cumin, paprika, turmeric, salt, cinnamon, chili pepper and black pepper, and sauté for 2 minutes, stirring, to toast the spices. Add the chopped tomatoes, bring sauce to a simmer, and cook at the lowest possible simmer, covered, for 20 minutes.
- While the sauce is simmering, use your hands to gently combine the ground beef (or lamb) with the grated onion, garlic, 3 tablespoons of chopped cilantro and spices: salt, black pepper, paprika, cumin and Aleppo (or chili powder); roll gently into small, ping pong ball sized balls. (Makes about 20-25 meatballs).
- (optional but recommended – see notes below) Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the meatballs for 5-6 minutes, turning often, to brown them on all sides.
- When the sauce has cooked for 20 minutes, add the meatballs, cover the pot, and cook the meatballs for 15 minutes at the lowest possible simmer. Cooking on low heat is crucial for tender meatballs. Stir in 2-3 tablespoons of remaining chopped cilantro just before serving.
