Moroccan Meatballs

moroccan meatballs

As much as I like to travel, I know I can’t fly to every place I want. My kitchen is my lab and at times I look at it as an airport, from where I travel using my stove, food, and recipes.

Every time I discover a new recipe from a different country, I get amazed by how people can be creative and how different ingredients cooked in different ways, bring in variety of flavors, just like this meatball dish.

I’ve never been to Morocco, but through my kitchen I bring it to my house or a bit of it, and share the goodness with my family and friends.

What I have today is a very simple dish, very few ingredients, and require short time to prepare. Yet I promise that you’d love to cook it again and again.
