Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/4 lbs ground lamb
3 teaspoons paprika, divided
2 teaspoons cumin, divided
12 sprigs fresh parsley, leaves chopped and divided
salt
1 large garlic clove, peeled
1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes with juice, drained
1/4 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons tomato paste
1 small onion, peeled and roughly chopped into 8 pieces

Steps:

  • Make Meatballs: Place lamb in a large bowl. Measure in 1 1/2 tsp paprika, 1 tsp cumin, half the chopped parsley, and 1 tsp salt. Mix to incorporate seasonings through meat. Roll meat into 1 inch balls and set aside.
  • Make the Sauce: Turn on food processor and drop garlic through feed tube. Let machine run until garlic is chopped, then stop. Remove lid and scrape down sides of the bowl. Add teh drained toamtoes, olive oil, tomato paste, and onion. Add remaining 1 1/2 tsp paprika, 1 tsp cumin, 1/2 tsp salt, and remaining parsley. Process until nearly smooth. Scrape into a pan or deep skillet that is 10 inches across. Set over medium heat and bring to a boil. Cook 2-4 minutes and then remove from heat.
  • Nestle meatballs into sauce in a single layer. Swirl pan gently to ensure that meatballs are covered with sauce. Set over medium heat with lid slightly ajar and cook 10-12 minutes, until meatballs are cooked through. Taste and add more salt if necessary. If sauce is very thick, add a bit of water. Serve.

I'm not a fan of Moroccan food, but these meatballs were really good! The tomato sauce was especially good. I would definitely make them again.

These meatballs were easy to make and turned out great! I used ground chicken instead of beef and they were still very flavorful. The tomato sauce was also very good.
