oriental touch, with a great cinnamon aroma

Combine the ground beef with breadcrumbs, cinnamon, coriander, paprika, and sea salt, and form into small balls. Heat the olive oil in a large, deep frying pan (with a lid) and fry the balls until browned on all sides. Add the onions and toss briefly. Then gradually add the garlic and all the other ingredients. Finally, add the bell peppers and 1 1/2 cups of water (or stock), stirring gently. Close the lid and simmer gently for about 45 minutes. The balls can be served in a variety of ways, for example with rice or rosemary potatoes; they also taste delicious with flatbread, yogurt, and salad. They’re also delicious on their own.
