Steps:
- Put the onions in a food processor and blitz until finely chopped. Put the lamb, lemon zest, spices, parsley and half the onions in a large bowl, and season. Using your hands, mix until well combined, then shape into walnut-sized balls.
- Heat the oil in a large flameproof dish, or tagine with a lid, then add the remaining onions, ginger, chilli and saffron. Cook for 5 mins until the onion is softened and starting to colour. Add the lemon juice, stock, tomato purée and olives, then bring to the boil. Add the meatballs, one at a time, then reduce the heat, cover with the lid and cook for 20 mins, turning the meatballs a couple of times.
- Remove lid, then add the coriander and lemon wedges, tucking them in between the meatballs. Cook, uncovered, for a further 10 mins until the liquid has reduced and thickened slightly. Serve hot with couscous or fresh crusty bread.

MEATBALL TAGINE WITH HERBS AND LEMON
This delightful recipe comes from "Cooking Moroccan" by Tess Mallos. The meatballs do not need to be browned, which simplifies the prep. A tagine is an clay vessel, however, you do not need one to prepare this dish.

Steps:
- Prepare the meatballs: put the onion and parsley in a food processor and process until finely chopped.
- Tear the bread into pieces, add to the onion, along with the egg, and process briefly.
- Add the meat, cumin, paprika, pepper and 1 teaspoons salt and process to a thick paste, scraping down the side of the bowl occasionally.
- Alternative preparation: grate the onion, chop the parsley, crumb the bread, and add to the meat in a bowl with the remaining ingredients. Knead until the mixture is paste like in consistency.
- With moistened hands, shape the mixture into walnut-sized balls and place them on a tray. Cover and refrigerate until required.
- Prepare the sauce: heat the butter or oil in a saucepan and add the onion. Cook over low heat until softened and golden.
- Add the paprika, turmeric, cumin and chili or cayenne pepper, and cook for 1 minute, stirring.
- Add the chicken stock and cilantro and bring to a boil.
- Add the meatballs to the pan, shaking so that they settle into the sauce. Cover and simmer for 45 minutes.
- Add most of the parsley and the lemon juice and season, if necessary. Return to a boil and simmer for 2 minutes.
- If using preserved lemon, add now.
- Transfer to a tagine or bowl, and sprinkle with remaining parsley.
- Note 1: author suggests serving with crusty bread. I also suggest rice or couscous.
- Note 2: I substituted a yellow curry powder for the turmeric, as turmeric is a principal ingredient in curry powder.
- Note 3: I sometimes need to add a little additional stock for the sauce, depending on the pot I use.

CHICKEN TAGINE WITH OLIVES AND PRESERVED LEMONS
This rich and fragrant chicken stew is laden with complex flavors and spices reminiscent of the sort you might encounter in a mountainside cafe in Morocco. Save yourself the cost of a plane ticket, however, and make this at home. First, rub the chicken with a redolent combination of garlic, saffron, ground ginger, paprika, cumin, turmeric and black pepper, then pop it into the refrigerator for 3 to 4 hours to marinate. Once that's done, brown the chicken parts, and remove from the pan, making room for a pile of sliced onions that you'll sauté until golden brown. Nestle a cinnamon stick into the tangle of onions, pile the chicken parts on top and scatter with slices of preserved lemons and olives, a combination of green and kalamata. Add a bit of chicken stock and lemon juice, then cook over low heat until the chicken is cooked through, and your house smells amazing.
