The inspiration for this dish came from my trip to Morocco. I tasted it for the very first time at my husbands' family home. It was delicious! Since I am living with Moroccan under one roof, I am trying to master the Moroccan dishes, and here today you can see my interpretation of one of them.

Preparing meatballs:

1. Chop 1/4 of the big onion very finely.

2. Add all the ingredients to the minced meat and mix it very well.

3. Form meatballs of the size of a grape.

Preparing tomato sauce:

1. Chop the remaining onion into small cubes.

2. Heat up an olive oil and fry onion until it turns golden.

3. Add grated garlic and fry it for 2 more minutes.

4. Add tomato sauce, let it until starts bubbling and add all the spices, coriander and mix it well. Let it cooking covered for 15-20 minutes until the onion softens and sauce thickens.

5. Adjust spices if necessary.

6. Add meatballs, cover the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes from each side.

7. When the meatballs are cooked, add eggs on the top, sprinkle little bit of salt on each and decorate with coriander. Cook eggs for another 6-7 min (to your preference) or until they are cooked.

Serve with crusty bread.
