Middle Eastern Turkey Meatballs With Couscous
This recipe was my introduction to couscous, and i've never looked back. the first time i made it, i did accidentially use israeli couscous (don't try it!)! . the cinnamon is very subtle, and the meatballs are very complex in flavor. this is very healthy, and tastes sooo good!!
