Moroccan Meat Balls

Moroccan Meat Balls

This recipe was inspired by an amazing lunch we had on a family holiday in Morocco. We went on a day trek in the Atlas mountains and at lunch time a banquet appeared from nowhere including Moroccan meat balls.. We have had to apply a little poetic licence as the language barrier left a little ambiguity but this  is very close to how we remember it .
