Chef tips
To ensure the kefta are soft and melt-in-the-mouth, avoid over-kneading the meat. Wet your hands with cold water before rolling to prevent sticking and create even shapes. For a special touch, add a handful of toasted pine nuts to the meat and serve on a bed of fragrant couscous with plenty of freshly chopped parsley on top.
