Moroccan Meatballs & Vegetable Tagine

I MISS MOROCCAN FOOD. Huston doesn’t have a single restaurant that serves it! Ive checked- multiple times. Like time i had it was over 5 years ago! This is a healthy macro friendly Moroccan inspired version i whipped up with low fat beef instead of lamb and minus all the olive oil. I split the recipe 5 ways!
