1 pc egg

1 tsp salt

125 ml white wine

1 tsp light brown sugar

Method

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Combine the egg, ginger, cumin, 3 sprigs of chopped parsley, tomato paste and 1 pinch of cinnamon in a medium bowl and mix until well blended. Stir in the bread crumbs and minced meat and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix gently and make about 32 meatballs from the mixture, each about 1 inch in diameter.

Place the meatballs gently on a foil-lined baking sheet and bake for about 15-20 minutes.

To make the sauce; heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large saucepan over medium heat and saute the onions (diced) and garlic (minced) for about 3 minutes or until translucent. Add the olives (pitted and chopped) and cook for 1 minute. Add the white wine and deglaze the pan for about 2 minutes.

Add the crushed tomatoes, 1 pinch of cinnamon, ¼ cup of chicken broth (or water), ½ teaspoon of ground pepper and sugar then simmer for about 7 minutes. Adjust seasoning.

Transfer the meatballs in the saucepan and cook for about 20 minutes or until completely cooked through.

While the sauce is cooking, bring the water to boil in a small saucepan, add 1 tablespoon of oil followed by the dates then the couscous. Cover the pan tightly and allow to sit for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and season with salt and pepper.

Serve couscous with the meatballs and garnish with fresh parsley.
