35g (1/2 cup) fresh wholemeal breadcrumbs (made from day-old bread)
1 small brown onion, coarsely grated
1/3 cup chopped fresh coriander
1 1/2 tbs Moroccan seasoning

Method

Combine mince, breadcrumbs, onion, chopped coriander and Moroccan seasoning in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Roll tablespoonfuls of the mixture into balls. Place on a plate.
