  • Really tasty. I made them

    Really tasty. I made them quite spicy as we only had hot paprika & my friend;s home grown chilli flakes must be hot!!

    My meatballs were quite wet, but I think that's probably because I used brown seedy bread to make the crumbs, so they didn't hold together too well. Tasty though.I did find it a bit oily though, so I'll add less oil next time.

    This was really tasty and added a different balance of flavour compared to our usual morocan meatballs although more fiddly. Will definitely make again. Thanks
