how to make it
In a large bowl, combine sausage meat, breadcrumbs and egg then form into small meatballs. Place onto a lined baking tray and refrigerate for 30 mins.
Cook meatballs in a fry-pan over high heat, turning regularly.
Add shallots and garlic, stirring continuously for 10 mins until soft and the meatballs are cooked through. Remove the meatballs and shallot mixture and set aside.
In the same fry-pan over low heat, whisk flour, ras el hanout spice mix, oil and stock to form a smooth sauce.
Mix hummus and Greek yoghurt in a small bowl, then stir half into the sauce mix in the fry-pan.
Return the meatball mix to the fry-pan, cover and cook for 2-3 mins.
Serve the meatballs topped with the remaining hummus/yogurt mixture, garnish with mint, parsley, pomegranate seeds and toasted pine nuts.
Serve with couscous and toasted flatbread.
