This is marvelous, and a really nice change from the traditional beef balls. These juicy, tender parsley meatballs are remarkably good, packed with herbs and spices. If you want to make people happy, serve them with couscous and you’ll get the perfect crowd pleasing dish for dinner.

Directions

1. In a large bowl, combine ground beef with chopped onion, a bit of garlic powder, crumbled bouillon cube and half the parsley and form small balls, the size of a walnut.

2. Heat butter and oil in a pot, brown the meatballs on all sides then add the small onions. Cook for 2 minutes then add tomato paste and mix well. Add diced tomatoes and cook for 2 minutes more. Add all the remaining spices—cumin, garlic, ginger and chili— for a good kick of heat. Finally add a small glass of water, cover and simmer for 25 to 30 minutes.

3. 10 minutes before the end of cooking time, add remaining parsley and adjust seasoning. Serve the meatballs with the sauce over couscous or bulgur with a sprinkling of parsley.
