  I used veggie meatballs too it was a really nice meal had a moroccan evening and had this with the Moroccan Tagine. The meatball dish was great but the Tagine just took the show away really....was tasty though and quick perfect for a mid week meal.

  I made my own meatballs instead of shop bought ones (used the recipe for Spicy Meatballs). Really tasty. Served it with couscous.

  I made this last night and then dropped it all over the kitchen floor. All I can say is it is really easy to make, smells great, and my dog seemed to like it.

  Very Good, a great meal. Not out of this world, but still very very good. The apricots give an interesting bite to the meal. This literally can take 10 minutes to prepare plus simmering time. I just made it for the second time today!

  I thought this was fab, and so did both my young boys. I thought the apricot/tomato/corriander/cinnamon combo was out of this world, and you couldn't ask for an easier recipe! I seared the meatballs in a pan, then chucked the lot in a slow cooker on high for 3 hours. Fantastic.

  Good. Nice combination of flavours, but we felt it needed a bit more spicing up - will add some chilli or tagine paste next time.

  Loved it. Used Sainsbury's Moroccan lamb burgers and made them into meatballs then followed the rest of the recipes. Very tasty.

  I also made the Spicy Meatball recipe as I thought it would be pretty bland without it. I also added some cumin and chickpeas to the sauce. Will make again but won't hold back on adding more flavour
