Mini Meatballs with Pearled Couscous

1 Prepare the meatballs by combining the ground beef, grated zucchini, breadcrumbs, egg and spices together in a bowl.
2 Roll into mini meatballs, or larger ones if preferred. You should get about 30 mini meatballs.
3 Heat a skillet on medium heat with the 1/4 cup of olive oil.
4 Add the meatballs into the pan and cook on medium/high heat for about 7-8 minutes total to brown, flipping every couple of minutes. They don't need to be fully cooked through as they will continue to simmer in the pot with the couscous. 
5 Remove the meatballs from the pan and set aside. If needed, add another 2 tbsp of olive oil. Add in the tomato paste and spices. Mix together.
6 Add the couscous and the water and give it a good mix.
7 Place the meatballs back into the pan, cover the pan and bring it to a boil. Once boiling reduce the flame to low and simmer for about 20 minutes, until most of the liquid is absorbed.
8 Once ready, give everything a good stir. Serve with fresh herbs or a chopped veggie salad.
