Ingredients:

Serving

1 lb ground lamb
1/2 onion, grated
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp sweet hungarian paprika
2 sprigs fresh coriander, finely chopped
2 sprigs flat leaf parsley, finely chopped
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 onion, grated
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp sweet hungarian paprika
1/8 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
3 tbsp tomato paste
1 cup lamb stock
2 cups squash or 2 cups potatoes, peeled & cut into large chunks
1/2 cup peas
3 eggs, beaten

Directions:

Use your hands to mix the meatball ingredients, and roll mixture into mini meatballs 3/4 -1 in diameter; set aside.
In a skillet or tajine combine sauce ingredients and let mixture simmer, covered, over low heat for 5 minutes.
Add meatballs, squash, and peas to the sauce and simmer, covered, over medium-low heat for 15 minutes.
Pour the eggs in in a stream over everything.
Cover and cook just long enough to cook the egg (about 3 minutes, depending on how well done you like your eggs).
Serve warm over couscous, sprinkled with cumin or black pepper if desired.
