Meatball & Tomato Sauce (Moroccan Tagine) image

This recipe was originally for a Moroccan tagine. I changed some of the ingredients to make a wonderful meatball & tomato sauce. The different spices give it delightful sweet & spicy flavor. It is one of my favorite dishes, goes beautifully with Recipe #260654.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but this dish was not good. I followed the recipe exactly, but the end result was inedible.

This recipe was a disaster. The meatballs were tough and the sauce was bland. I don't recommend it.

The meatballs were a bit dry, but the sauce was delicious. I'll try adding more breadcrumbs to the meatballs next time.

This tagine was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I'll try using less harissa next time.

This Moroccan tagine with meatballs and tomato sauce was an absolute delight! The meatballs were tender and flavorful, and the sauce was rich and tangy. I served it over couscous, and it was a perfect meal.
