I like to serve this with spicy couscous and I cheat here - I use Ainsley Harriot couscous sachets - the Spice Sensation or the Moroccan Medley couscous work best with this recipe.

I usually stir roasted peppers through the couscous and scatter over chopped coriander and flat leaf parsley - just to give it a bit of extra yumminess!

I add a bowl of minty yogurt sauce on the side - to make this simply mix Greek yogurt with a couple of teaspoons of mint sauce. Simple!

Don't just stick to my ideas though - mix things up for yourself - try...

• Flavoured rice - the Tilda microwave pouches are a quick option.

• Stuff the meatballs into pitta breads with salad and minty yogurt or mango chutney

• Serve with quinoa and roast veggies

• Serve the meatballs in a thick, rich tomato sauce with pasta or rice. You might just LOVE our Moroccan meatball sauce recipe here.
