Moroccan on a Saturday Night


Tonight I made North African Meatballs with Cous Cous.  This was an extremely tasty dish.  The sauce is tomato based with white wine, onions, and garlic.  The meatballs are super flavorful, full of ginger, cinnamon, cilantro, cumin, and more!  Served with cous cous with dates, this made for a filling delicious meal.

I made a couple of modifications to the recipe - It actually calls for olives in the sauce, and I omitted them.  I really hate olives, so more than likely I significantly altered the taste of the meal. It was still great.  Biscuit wanted less cinnamon, as he's not a big fan of cinnamon with meat (I love it in dishes like this), but still said that he would add this to our regular meal rotation. 

If you're interested in trying this it can be found here: North African Meatballs with Cous Cous.  One thing I'd recommend if you're making this on a work night is to cook the meatballs in the oven, instead of doing them in batches in a skillet.  I know the taste is a little bit better because they were browned in a skillet, but you can save a *lot* of time by oven cooking.  Sometimes we have to make small sacrifices to make life easier!

I would definitely recommend this if you are looking for something different!
