Spiced Eggplant and Meatball Tagine

How about a deeply fragrant, Moroccan-style tagine that can be fast-forwarded to the table in 30 minutes? It can be done. In fact, we've done it with the help of some pan-ready meatballs, simmering along with some silky eggplant and a spiced tomato sauce. We're not going to say this is a cheat's version, let's just call it a little shortcut to big flavour.
