Preparation
Step 1
In a nonstick pan, add 1 tbsp oil, then stir in the meatballs until they turn golden. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 2
In the same pan, melt the butter/ghee and add flour, stirring until it becomes golden brown.
Step 3
Add 2 cups of water and keep stirring until you have a smooth mixture, and it starts to boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 2 minutes while stirring.
Step 4
In another nonstick pan, heat 3 tbsp oil, add your orzo and stir until it turns golden brown. Add 1.5 cups of water and season with salt. Let it cook until the water is completely absorbed.
Step 5
In a tagine, add half an orzo layer at the bottom, arrange the meatballs on top and pour half of your gravy. Cover with the rest of your orzo and gravy.
Step 6
Heat the oven to 180 degrees and bake for 20 minutes. Garnish with parsley and serve.
