| 1. Mix the ground meat with the salt, cumin, cinnamon and pepper. Shape this kefta mixture into small meatballs the size of large cherries, and set aside. | 2. Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and sugar and cook, stirring frequently, until the onions begin to caramelize. Add the olives, and cook for several minutes more. | 3. Add the tomatoes and seasoning and cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally and mashing the tomatoes as you go, until a chunky tomato sauce has formed. | 4. Add the meatballs to the sauce, and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring several times to turn the meatballs, until the meat is cooked through. Break a meatball to test if it's done before proceeding. | 5. Pour the eggs directly over the tomato sauce and meatballs. Break the yolks, and allow the eggs to simmer in the sauce until set. To help this along, you can lift the edges of the eggs as they cook and tip the pan to allow uncooked egg to run underneath and cook faster. If cooking the eggs in a tagine, cover the eggs and allow them to poach until done. | 6. Dust the top of the cooked eggs with cumin and salt to taste, garnish with the chopped cilantro, and serve. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
