🇲🇦 Morocco recipe

Kefta Tagine

One of Morocco's most comforting everyday dishes, kefta tagine features well-spiced lamb or beef meatballs nestled into a fragrant, simmered tomato sauce with cumin, paprika, and fresh herbs. Eggs are cracked directly into the bubbling sauce and gently poached to perfection, their runny yolks enriching each bite when broken.
