Grilled Kefta RecipeOrigin: North Africa Period: Traditional |
|
The kefta, or spiced minced lamb patty is a very traditional North African dish, variants of which are made in just about every country in North Africa. You need slightly fattier meat than usual when making the mince for keftas (about 10% fat is good) as this keeps the keftas moist and helps them bind together. Ingredients:
600g freshly-minced lamb 
Grilled Kefta Preparation:Method:Combine all the ingredients for the keftas in a large bowl and knead thoroughly with your hands to form a smooth paste (this can take 10 minutes or more). When ready, bring the ingredients together as a ball, cover and refrigerate for 1 hour. When you are ready, pre-heat your barbecue or grill then shape the meat mixture into patties about 5cm in diameter and 2cm thick. Place on the barbecue or under your grill and cook for about 6 to 8 minutes per side, or until nicely browned and cooked through. Arrange on a plate, season with the mix of salt and cumin and serve. |
