• 1 finely grated onion
• 3 large tomatoes (or one tin of chopped)
• 2 garlic cloves, crushed

• In a tagine or deep pan, heat olive oil and cook the chopped tomatoes with some garlic, cumin, paprika, salt and pepper to create a flavourful sauce.
• Once the sauce simmers, gently add the meatballs.

• You can also crack a few eggs over the top near the end of cooking, if desired.
• Garnish with the fresh parsley
