| 1. Boil 2 eggs. | 2. Prepare the meat by seasoning it with salt, pepper, dried mint and let it rest for a little while. | 3. Stuffing: Mix together the chopped parsley, chopped onion, tuna, cheese, 1 raw egg. Season it with salt and pepper. | 4. Sauce: Cook 1/4 chopped onion in olive oil until light brown, add the tomato puree and water. Season with salt, pepper and the harissa or paprika. I like to add a little bit of dried chilli. Let it simmer for 15 minutes. | 5. Divide the meat into 2 balls, flatten them up the palm of your hand until it is 1cm thick. | 6. Spread the stuffing and add the hard boiled egg in the middle. Do the same with the other ball of meat. | 7. Now the tricky bit is to close the meat around the egg to form a ball avoiding any holes or the suffing will run during the cooking. | 8. Secure the balls with kitchen thread. | 9. Brown the meat balls in a frying pan with not too much oil. | 10. Add the meat balls to the sauce and let it boil for a little while. | 11. Put the meat balls and the sauce into an oven dish and cover with aluminium foil and let it cook for 50min at 200°C. | 12. Turn the balls by time to time so that each sides cook equally. | 13. Get the balls on a chopping board and let them cool for 15min. | 14. Take the kitchen thread out and slice the balls into sliced of 1cm thich. | 15. Serve with the sauce and couscous. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
