Flavors of Africa: Vegan Meatballs

My creative juices have been flowing lately especially in the kitchen. I wanted to cook a recipe from my friend Evi cookbook Flavors Of Africa I choose to recreate the North African Meatballs but made them vegan using Pure Farmland Meatballs.

The dish can be eaten alone with Couscous or Basmati Rice, I used Coconut Basmati rice to go along with the dish and it definitely complimented the meatballs. The meal turned out so good my friend came back for seconds and she’s not a huge lover of vegan foods.
