Steps:
- Prepare meat: Combine all meatball ingredients and mix well. Roll meat into small meatballs.
- Prepare sauce: Cut tomatoes in half and grate them. Discard the tomato skins.
- On medium heat, drizzle olive oil into into a large pot, big enough to have all the meatballs in a single layer. Add the grated onion, tomatoes, paprika, cumin, salt and pepper. Cover pot and let sauce come to a boil.
- When the sauce starts boiling, add the meatballs gently into the pot, keeping them in a single layer. Cook meatballs for 40 minutes.
- Once the meatballs are cooked, transfer the meatballs and sauce to a large saucepan. Crack 3 eggs over different areas on top of the meatballs. Don't stir or mix them inches Cover and cook 5 minutes. Serve.

MOROCCAN KEFTA AND EGGS TAGINE WITH TOMATOES, ONIONS AND OLIVES
This is Moroccan kefta (meatballs) and eggs at their best - with caramelized onions, saucy tomatoes and tangy olives. The idea to caramelize the onions came from a recipe in Kitty Morse's Cooking at the Kasbah. If short on time, skip the caramelizing and cook the onions and tomatoes just long enough to soften. Or, omit the kefta and increase the eggs to 8 or 9 for a fabulous meatless omelet. Cooking time is for preparation in a skillet. I used a non-stick skillet to cook the onions, tomatoes and kefta, and then transferred everything to a pre-heated tagine to cook the eggs and serve directly from the dish. Delicious!

Steps:
- Mix the ground meat with the salt, cumin, cinnamon and pepper. Shape this kefta mixture into small meatballs the size of large cherries, and set aside.
- Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and sugar and cook, stirring frequently, until the onions begin to caramelize. Add the olives, and cook for several minutes more.
- Add the tomatoes and seasoning and cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally and mashing the tomatoes as you go, until a chunky tomato sauce has formed.
- Add the meatballs to the sauce, and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring several times to turn the meatballs, until the meat is cooked through. Break a meatball to test if it's done before proceeding.
- Pour the eggs directly over the tomato sauce and meatballs. Break the yolks, and allow the eggs to simmer in the sauce until set. To help this along, you can lift the edges of the eggs as they cook and tip the pan to allow uncooked egg to run underneath and cook faster. If cooking the eggs in a tagine, cover the eggs and allow them to poach until done.
- Dust the top of the cooked eggs with cumin and salt to taste, garnish with the chopped cilantro, and serve.

MOHAMMED'S TAGINE KEFTA
Morocco is one of my favourite countries and after several trips there we now have good friends in the southern city of Zagora. It was there that I first learned how to make a tagine kefta, or in other words a Moroccan version of a meatball stew. Now I know there are almost as many versions of a tagine kefta as there are chefs. This one was taught to me by Mohammed in his kitchen in Zagora. For the oil, he used mostly olive oil but with a couple spoonfuls of vegetable oil mixed in. Also, the spices in Morocco are very fresh. Buy the best you can and add more if needed.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a tagine. If you do not have a tagine you can also use a large covered frying pan or casserole pot.
- Put in the onion, garlic and parsley as well as the paprika, salt and pepper. Stir and cover, leaving to saute over a low heat while you prepare the meatballs.
- Add the cumin to the meat, which helps it stay together. Mix well and form into either meatballs or flat patties.
- After about five minutes you can add the tomatoes to the pot and continue to simmer.
- Stir and add a bit of cold water if necessary as the tomatoes cook down and develop into a nice sauce. This should take at least 10 minutes, don't rush it.
- When you have a good sauce, put the meat patties on top of the sauce and cover.
- If you want to add the hot pepper you can lay it on top at this point as well.
- Cover and let bubble away for another 10 minutes or until the beef is cooked, adding a bit of water if necessary.
- Once the meat is cooked crack the eggs on top and let cook for another couple minutes, covered, until the eggs are done.
- Serve hot with lots of bread to soak up the sauce.
MOROCCAN MEATBALLS -- TAGINE KEFTA
I was taught how to make this recipe during a vacation in Morocco, where I was lucky enough to spend some time with the chef of a restaurant, Naima. In Morocco, people eat it straight out of the tagine with lots of bread to soak up the sauce but it also makes the best spaghetti and meatballs I've ever tasted! The key is to use the freshest, juciest tomatoes you can find. If you aren't lucky enough to have a tagine, you should be able to make this dish in a deep frying pan, as long as it has a cover. I think a non-stick pan would be best. One other thing, be careful of adding onions to this dish as they are very watery and will make the sauce runny. If you do add onions, you will probably have to let it simmer uncovered for a few minutes to reduce the sauce.

Steps:
- Mix all the ingredients for the sauce together in the tagine, cover and let simmer gently over a medium heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Meanwhile, use your hands to mix the ingredients for the meatballs together and then roll the meat into small balls, about 1 inch round.
- After the tomatoes have simmered for about 15 minutes, stir the sauce and add a little water if you feel it is needed.
- Place the meatballs in the sauce.
- Do not stir but just let them sit on top of the sauce.
- Lower the heat, cover and cook for another 8-10 minutes. Uncover and let simmer another couple minutes if you feel the sauce needs thickening.
- Serve with lots of crusty bread for dipping in the sauce or over spaghetti with parmesan cheese on top.
- If you want to make these ahead of time and freeze them, leave the parsley out and place the meatballs in a rigid container like a tupperware dish before freezing.
- To reheat, thaw in the fridge (you can do this overnight) and reheat on the stovetop over medium-low until bubbly. Add chopped parsley before serving.
