Steps:
- In a large bowl, combine the meat with the herbs and spices. Knead by hand for a minute or two to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.
- Shape the kefta into small sausage-like logs. Arrange the logs in a grill basket or thread and mold them onto skewers.
- Grill the kebabs over medium-hot coals several minutes per side or until evenly browned and cooked through but still juicy. Moroccan preference is for little to no pink so watch carefully to avoid avoid drying out the meat.
- Alternatively, the kefta can be baked in the oven. Preheat the oven to 350° F (180° C). Arrange the shaped meat on a rack set over a pan and bake until browned and cooked through, approximately 15 to 20 minutes. Time will depending on how thick the kefta was shaped.
- Wrap the cooked kebabs in foil to hold warm until serving.

YOGURTLU KEBAB - KOFTA WITH TOMATO SAUCE AND YOGURT
Adapted from, 'The New Book of Middle Eastern Food' by Claudia Roden. This is a delicious turkish recipe, traditionally it is served over toasted pita croutons but I like to serve it over the middle eastern rice and lentil dish called 'mujadarra'. You will need to use a kofta recipe, or you can use 'Kofta Meshweya' (#451292) recipe which is what I use when I make this.
