HAJAR'S ZWINA BEEF KEFTA
Beef, ground, is by FAR the MOST popular way that Moroccan home cooks use beef. We prefer young beef as we call it here which is also called veal/veau. HOWEVER, veal is raised free range here and used from 6 months to 1 year old. See Hajar's Morocco for Foodies Column 4 on meats in the African Forum. This is served most popularly at home, braziers and sandwich stands. Quick and easy. We serve it at our house with Hajar's wicked sauce tomatish, grilled onions & tomato slices also grilled, salad, bread and a dish of olives. YUM! Here in Morocco Zweena means beautiful. This freezes very well, see below. c.2005

Steps:
- Mix all ingredients together in suitably sized bowl.
- Form the meat into small patties; about as big round as your thumb and forefinger when you form a circle from tip to tip.
- Pan fry, grill, broil, or BBQ until fully cooked. Press a bit flat before cooking as you want to avoid much browning.
- I most often use the young beef for this and it is always served at home or eaten out with; sauce tomatish, salad, potatoes frites, bread (for dipping into the sauce and scooping up a piece or breaking a piece in half as it is always in a communal bowl/platter), a dish of marinated olives and a pot of mint tea along with your cold beverage. Serves 4.
- You can freeze this cooked or prepared to cook. Freeze it as you would any hamburger patty or meatball. Freeze in a container or seperated with wax paper wrapped in cling film, foil, or a ziplok type bag. This is a freindly freezer!

MOROCCAN KEFTA
Kefta is ground beef or lamb mixed with ingredients like fresh herbs, onions, ground cumin and sweet paprika, which are often used in Moroccan cuisine. Moroccans often grill it over charcoal, but it's very versatile: You can thread kefta onto skewers, as done here, or shape it as a patty to fill a sandwich or even use it as a stuffing for dumplings.

Steps:
- In a large bowl using your hands or a large spoon, combine the beef, onion and the juices, parsley, cilantro, mint, sweet paprika, cumin, salt, black pepper and cayenne.
- Take about 1/2 teaspoon of the kefta mixture, cook it (in a pan or in the microwave) and taste it to check the seasoning. Add more salt to the kefta mixture if necessary.
- Take about 2 1/2 tablespoons of the kefta mixture (slightly larger than a golf ball) and mold it onto a skewer to form a log. (If using a long skewer, form two logs on each.) Repeat until you've used all the kefta mixture. Place the skewers on a plate, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to cook.
- Heat your grill or grill pan to medium-high and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until cooked through, using a thin spatula to help turn if the kefta sticks. Serve immediately with bread and a side of vegetables or a salad.
KAFTA (BBQ)
The yummiest preparation mixture for ground beef EVER! I have made this Lebanese Meat for all of my friends and family and have HAD to leave the recipe with everyone! Meat mixture can be used for everything... meatballs, meatloaf, BBQ skewers, BBQ'd hamburgers. FOR BEST, AUTHENTIC LEBANESE TASTE, DO NOT OMIT OR SUBSTITUTE INGREDIENTS (until you have made it this way ;P )

CHEF JOHN'S KOFTA KEBABS
I'm excited to share what is one of my all-time favorite things to grill. This is perfect for those times when you want to take a break from grilling burgers, but you also kinda want a grilled burger, since this is basically a Mediterranean-style meatball on a stick. I know "shish" gets more love, but "kofta" might be the best kebab. Serve over a tomato, onion, and cucumber salad with flatbread or pita and a lemony tahini dressing.

Steps:
- Cut toasted bread slice into thin strips on a cutting board; cut strips across into a small dice.
- Place onion, parsley, and garlic on top of diced bread on the cutting board; chop until mixture resembles tabbouleh.
- Season beef and lamb with kosher salt, black pepper, allspice, paprika, cardamom, nutmeg, and cayenne. Add onion mixture and water. Mix and mash with your hands until well combined.
- Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour, up to overnight.
- Remove meat from the refrigerator and roll ¼ of the mixture into a ball using wet hands. Pierce in the middle with a bamboo skewer. Shape meat into a uniform log, about 6 inches long and 2 inches wide.
- Meanwhile, preheat a charcoal grill until coals are very hot.
- Place kebabs on the hot grill until browned and cooked through, about 12 minutes, turning every 3 minutes or so. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a kebab should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Serve.
