Moroccan Meatball Tagine (Kefta Tagine)

(Moroccan Meatball Tagine, Kefta Tajine, Kefta Mkaouara, Mkawra, Kofta Tagine, Kofta Tajine)

Kefta tagine is a classic Morrocan tagine variety consisting of small meatballs in a homemade tomato sauce, and are prepared in the eponymous conical cooking vessel.

The meatballs are shaped into spheres the size of a cherry tomato, made of ground lamb or beef meat (or a combination of two), and flavored with spices such as paprika, cumin, parsley, coriander, black pepper, and salt, and cooked in a piquant tomato sauce.


Sometimes kofta tagine also includes eggs, which are added to the sauce near the end of cooking and cooked until poached.

Kefta tagine is mainly prepared at home and is a communal dish traditionally served straight from the tagine pot, with khobz or some other Moroccan bread used to scoop the tasty stew.
