Kefta is a flavorful mixture of ground meat usually beef or lamb (or both) seasoned with a generous dose of spices and fresh herbs. One of Morocco’s most popular street foods kefta can be formed into patties meatballs or shaped around skewers to make kefta kabobs before being grilled or broiled.

Kefta is usually made with either ground beef or lamb. We use a combination of both in our kefta recipe. Finding lean ground lamb can be tricky so adding 90% lean or leaner ground beef can help reduce saturated fat and calories and balance out the flavor.
