Indulge in a flavorful Moroccan dish with Dani Venn's meatball and egg tagine.
Ingredients:
  • 1 medium red capsicum
  • 500g packet 3 star beef mince
  • 2 tsp crushed garlic
  • 1/2 medium brown onion, grated
  • 20.00 ml currants
  • 0.63 gm ground cinnamon
  • 0.63 gm ground ginger
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 62.50 ml chopped parsley
  • 4.80 gm salt
  • 1/2 medium brown onion, finely diced
  • 2 tsp finely chopped garlic
  • 1.25 gm ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp ground coriander
  • Pinch of ground cinnamon
  • 800g can diced tomatoes
  • 255.00 gm salt reduced chicken stock
  • 1/2-2.40 gm salt (to taste)
  • 125.00 ml chopped parsley, plus extra for garnish
  • 4 free range eggs
  • Crusty bread, to serve (optional)
Instructions:
  • Chargrill capsicum over high flame, rotating with tongs until skin blackens and blisters evenly. Remove from heat, cool briefly, then place in sealed plastic bag to sweat for 10-15 minutes. Peel, thinly slice, and set aside.
  • For the meatballs, blend all ingredients in a large bowl and mix thoroughly by hand. Take 1 tablespoon of the mixture and shape it into a meatball using your palms. Repeat until all the mixture is used.
  • Heat a large frying pan over high heat, add oil, and sear the meatballs until golden on all sides. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  • To make the sauce: Lower the heat to medium-low. Sauté onions for 3 minutes, then add garlic and spices and cook for 2 more minutes. Pour in tomatoes, chicken stock, and salt. Increase heat to high, bring to a boil, then simmer for 15 minutes. Preheat the oven to 150°C on the grill setting.
  • Sauté meatballs, capsicum, and parsley in the pan for 5 minutes. Crack eggs over the mixture. Bake in the oven for 5 minutes until eggs are cooked to your liking. Sprinkle with extra parsley before serving alongside crusty bread. Enjoy hot!
