Juicy, well-spiced ground beef skewers grilled over charcoal until charred and smoky, served with cumin salt and fresh bread.
Instructions
-
1
Combine ground beef with grated onion, herbs, and all spices in a bowl. Knead mixture for five minutes until smooth.
-
2
Refrigerate the mixture for thirty minutes to firm up, making it much easier to mold onto the skewers securely.
-
3
Divide mixture into eight portions. Mold each portion around a flat metal skewer in a long sausage shape firmly.
-
4
Grill over hot charcoal or under a broiler for four minutes per side, turning once until charred and cooked through.
-
5
Remove from skewers onto a warm platter. Sprinkle immediately with cumin salt while the kefta are still sizzling.
-
6
Serve with warm bread, sliced tomatoes, raw onion rings, and harissa. These are best eaten immediately off the grill.

The Story Behind Kefta Meshwi
Kefta meshwi is Morocco's quintessential street grill food, found in every souk and roadside stop across the country. The art of seasoning ground meat with the precise blend of cumin, paprika, and fresh herbs has been passed down through generations of grill masters. Charcoal grilling gives the kefta its distinctive smoky crust, and the combination with cumin salt and bread makes one of Morocco's most satisfying simple meals.
