How can this recipe be made in a pot?
I would shape the meatballs and brown them in some oil. Then take them out and make the sauce and vegetables and let it simmer. Add the meatballs half way through and let is all cook until everything is done. I would make the couscous separately and then add it together later. Enjoy!
Thank you!
