  I think the instruction on how long to cook the mixture before adding the meatballs is too vague, one person's soft and pulpy is another person's mush! How about simmer for *minutes! Help please! I suspect the meatballs will be undercooked if they only cook as long as the eggs so I'm going to cook them for a bit longer before adding the eggs.

  Well I made this at the weekend. It was ok but not as good as I expected. Felt like something was missing, lucked oomph! My husband liked the eggs though!

  Really enjoyed making this (adding the eggs took a real leap of faith!). I agree though that its missing something - maybe the meatballs need a little more of a kick.

  I make this dish regularly and its delicious every time. I don't always follow the recipe very strictly but it's amazing every time. I usually serve this with cous-cous and some nice salad. All my guests love it and they all ask for a recipe at the end of the evening, which I guess speaks for itself.

  I really enjoyed this - easy to make - use at least 1tsp of the spice mix.

  I would agree that the timings (or lack of them) weren't very helpful and that the end result wasn't deserving of the amount of time and attention it too... Distinctly average.

  Really delicious dish and easy to make, I was making it for 2 of us so froze half the meatballs and halved the sauce - though kept 1tsp of spice as I love the flavour.

  I tried this tonight for the first time.. and it was absolutely delicious! I cooked the meatballs through well, before combining with the sauce and cooked in oven for another 15 mins, adding eggs towards the end. Soooo tatsy!! cant wait to eat it again! ;)

  This recipe looks lovely and i'm really keen to try a few Moroccan inspired dishes. Only problem is that i'm allergic to tomatoes so i have issues with the cans of chopped tomato in all the recipes. Has anyone got any suggestions or ways around it? Thank you! xx

  I added chillis to the meatballs which made them stand out a bit more. Couldnt find any of the spice mix so used smoked paprika instead which tasted good. It needed cooking for longer after the eggs were added because i was scared that they wouldnt be cooked and I didnt want my family to be poorly! Next time I will tweak the flavours a bit more as I agree it feels like its lacking something. We all enjoyed it though.

  This was tasty, although not amazing, timings were a little vague but the end was a tasty meal. I would do again (especially as now I have the spice mix!) The hardest bit was cooking the eggs. I might add some chilli to the meatballs as well next time

  I really liked this dish, but I agree that it could have done with some more chilli. Instead of making meatballs, I used merguez sausages to save on time, which worked quite well. I made mine in a Remoska, too, which meant the heat source is more like a grill, which helped cook the eggs more quickly. My altered version of this and pictures can be found on my blog, http://jessicaeatsfood.blogspot.com/2012/02/moroccan-in-remoska.html .

  Been making a version of this for a few years. For meatballs qrt cup breadcrumbs, half sml onion, half tsp each cumin, salt, garlic powder, pinch black pepper whizz in processor. The spices for the sauce 1tsp each paprika, cumin, qrt tsp each black pepper, cinnamon, ground ginger and pinch cayenne and if you can get it caraway powder qtr tsp. These will be good mix to replace the ras al hanout mix. What I do is start the sauce, whizz the meatballs and make them, and add them to the sauce, then about 5 mins after add the eggs. I don't use fresh coriander just because I don't like it. Serve with crusty bread.
