Instructions
- Peel and finely chop the shallots. Peel and crush the garlic. Warm the oil in a pan, add the shallots and garlic then cook over a moderate heat, stirring occasionally.

- Make the sauce. Peel the onions, roughly chop and cook them in the oil over a moderate heat until translucent. Stir in the coriander, turmeric and a little salt and cook for 2 minutes, until the onions are pale gold.
- Cut the broccoli into short lengths, then add to the onions with 100ml of boiling water. Cover and cook for 4 or 5 minutes until the broccoli is bright green.
- Meanwhile fry the meatballs in a little oil over a high heat until golden brown and lightly pink in the middle.
- Stir the crème fraîche into the broccoli, and warm thoroughly before spooning on to plates and adding meatballs. Scatter over a little finely ground sumac if you wish.
