Moroccan lamb meatballs


This is the second thing we've made using the speciality sausages we bought from Alternative Meats. These sausages are called Algerian Merguez style and are a very tasty slightly spicy lamb sausage.

Ingredients:
6 lamb sausages (skins removed)
white onion, diced
2 cloves of garlic, diced
green pepper, diced
a handful of mushrooms, sliced
tin of chopped tomatoes
1 handful of chopped mint
1 handful of chopped coriander
200ml veg stock
a pinch of cinammon
tea sp of honey
tea sp of ground cumin
olive oil
salt and pepper
  • Pre heat the oven to 170 degrees.
  • Mould the sausage meat into meatball shapes and brown them in olive oil, then set aside in an ovenproof dish (or tagine).
  • In the same frying pan, fry the onion, garlic and pepper for 5 minutes or so. Then add the sliced mushrooms.
  • Add the remaining ingredients (chopped tomatoes, stock, herbs, honey, cumin and cinammon) and allow to simmer for 5 minutes or so. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Pour the sauce over the lamb meatballs and place the dish in the oven.
  • Allow to simmer in the oven for around 30 minutes or so before serving with cous cous.
