  7. Come back to your marinade in your TM bowl and cook 5 min/100 degrees/Reverse/Speed 1

    Add tomatoes and cook 20 mins/100 degrees/Reverse/Speed 1 with TM bowl on lid (if bubbles out too much then reduce heat to 80 degrees)

     

  8. Meatballs
  9. Get out large cast iron casserol dish and place on stovetop on medium heat with 1 tablespoon oil

    (if you don't have a cast iron dish then you could use a normal casserol dish. Don't put on stove - add meatballs straight in and cook in oven for extra 10 mins)

    Add meatballs and let them brown turning them once (you just want to slighly brown the outside, not completely cook)

    Put lid on and put in oven until sauce is finished cooking in TM (about 10 min) Pour sauce over the top of meatballs and put back into oven for 15 mins.

     

    Sprinkle with eatra parsley and coriander and serve with pearl cous cous

Tip

For the last 10 mins of cooking you can also break 2 raw eggs in the middle of the dish over the top of the sauce and cover. It will gently poach the eggs.

    Really tasty. I made them quite spicy as we only had hot paprika & my friend;s home grown chilli flakes must be hot!!

    My meatballs were quite wet, but I think that's probably because I used brown seedy bread to make the crumbs, so they didn't hold together too well. Tasty though.I did find it a bit oily though, so I'll add less oil next time.

    A Mororocan dinner sounds delicious

    Thanks so much. It is a family fav and the most requested meal for special occasions. Takes a little more effort but worth it!

    This was really tasty and added a different balance of flavour compared to our usual morocan meatballs although more fiddly. Will definitely make again. Thanks
