SOAK IN ALL THE FLAVORS OF MOROCCO IN ONE BITE
These meatballs are a wonderful way to introduce your taste buds to the amazing flavors of Morocco. We paired lean ground chicken with spices such as nutmeg, cardamom, cloves and cinnamon for a semi-sweet and savory combo, which pairs perfectly with rice or pasta.
