Step 1

Mix the meat with coriander and parsley and season with salt, black pepper, and garlic.

Step 2

Loosely form the meat into small meatballs, roughly the size of a ping-pong ball, and place them on the prepared pan with a little oil, fry the meatballs, then set aside.

Step 3

In the same pan, add onions and dates and stir together, adding a pinch of salt and pepper to it. Then pour in tomatoes and water.

Step 4

Add the meatballs to the simmering liquid and simmer uncovered over medium heat for half hour, until the sauce is reduced to a thick and sticky glaze and the meat is cooked through.

Step 5

Finally, serve it with rice.
