- Lift the mixture into your hand and slap it down into the bowl several times.
- Take a small amount of mixture and shape it into a small ball about the size of a walnut, repeat with the remaining mixture to make about 12 balls.
- Heat the olive oil with the butter in a large heavy fry pan and fry meat balls until nicely browned, turning occasionally so they cook evenly.
- Stir in the tomatoes, sugar, ras el hanout and most of the coriander. Bring to the boil, cook for a few mins to reduce the sauce and roll the balls in the sauce. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Make room for the remaining eggs in the pan and crack them into spaces between the meatballs.
- Cover the pan, reduce the heat and cook for about 3 mins or until the eggs are just set.
