A delicious meal and very simple to prepare. I feel the dried pears are optional and I have used a squirt of coriander paste in the meatballs instead of the 2 tbsps of fresh coriander and it still tastes delicious.

Heat a little oil in a large frying pan, brown the meatballs all over and set aside.
Add a little extra oil to the pan and pan-fry the onion, garlic, ginger, chilli, cumin and cinnamon stick until the onions are soft but not brown. Add the pears, olives, beef stock and meatballs, and bring to the boil.
Cover and simmer gently for 30 minutes. Alternatively, cook in a casserole in a 180°C oven for about 30-40 minutes.
Serve with couscous or noodles and fresh coriander or parsley to garnish if wished.
