Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb or beef with grated onion, fresh parsley, cilantro, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, and cinnamon. Mix until well combined, then shape into 1¼-inch balls and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- In a heavy-bottomed pan, heat extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. Sauté a finely chopped onion until golden and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute. Stir in tomato paste, followed by grated tomatoes. Simmer for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Gently place the chilled meatballs into the sauce. Cover the pan and reduce heat to low, cooking for 10-15 minutes, turning halfway through for even doneness.
- Create small wells in the sauce and crack eggs into each well. Cover the pan and let the eggs poach for about 10-15 minutes until the whites are set and yolks remain runny.
- Once the eggs are poached, remove the tagine from heat and garnish with additional chopped herbs. Serve hot with crusty bread or couscous.
