Easy Moroccan meatball soup for a delicious dinner.
Ingredients:
  • 45.50 gm olive oil
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2.50 gm ground cinnamon
  • 2.50 gm ground ginger
  • 1/2 bunch coriander, leaves picked, stems chopped
  • 1/2 tsp dried chilli flakes
  • 2 carrots, cut into 1cm pieces
  • 2 zucchinis, cut into 1cm pieces
  • 1l chicken stock
  • 500g beef mince
  • 50g breadcrumbs
  • 200g couscous
  • 40g almond
Instructions:
  • In a large saucepan over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon of oil. Add half the onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened for about 2-3 minutes. Add cinnamon, ginger, and 1 teaspoon of cumin, then cook for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant. Transfer the mixture to a plate to cool.
  • Heat a pan over medium heat with 2 tsp of oil. Cook coriander stems, remaining onion, and garlic, stirring occasionally, until softened for about 2-3 minutes. Add chilli flakes and the remaining 1 tsp of cumin, cook for an additional minute until fragrant. Stir in carrot, zucchini, stock, and 1 cup (250ml) water. Simmer for 5 minutes until vegetables are softened.
  • Using your hands, mix together the onion mixture, minced meat, egg, and breadcrumbs in a bowl. Season to taste. Shape into walnut-sized balls and refrigerate for 10 minutes.
  • Heat up the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Brown the meatballs in batches for 2-3 minutes.
  • Stir in couscous and simmer until tender, about 3-4 minutes. Add meatballs and continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes until heated through. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and almonds before serving.
