Moroccan Kefta Tagine

A favorite of children and adults alike, kefta mkaouara (or Mmawra) is a presentation of petite, cherry-sized meatballs in a zesty homemade tomato sauce. Traditionally this famous Moroccan dish is prepared in a tagine, which lends earthy flavor, but a deep, wide skillet or Dutch oven will work just fine. Eggs are often added to the dish at the end of cooking; they're allowed to poach just until the whites set.The well-seasoned meatballs are easy to make, but a set of extra hands will make shorter work of this step. Plan to start simmering the sauce while you shape with the kefta, which can be made from ground lamb, ground beef, or a combination of the two. An egg is not traditionally used as a binder, but if your meat is extra lean, go ahead and use one. Likewise, breadcrumbs are not normally used as a filler, but if you prefer softer, spongier texture to your meatballs, a half cup or so may be added.The final presentation is comfort food that begs you to dip right on in with crusty Moroccan bread. Kefta mkaouara is traditionally served from the same dish in which it was prepared, with each person using bread for scooping up the meatballs from his own side of the dish.
