KEFTA TAJINE WITH TOMATOES AND EGGS

KEFTA TAJINE WITH TOMATOES AND EGGS image

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

500 g kefta (see my recipe for kefta brochettes)
Sauce:
2 Tb. parsley or coriander or a combination
2 onions, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp paprika
1 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. cayenne
1 tsp. cumin
table salt, to taste
1 kg tomatoes, peeled, seeded & chopped
To Finish:
6 eggs
For Serving:
Fresh Moroccan or French bread

Steps:

Form kefta mixture into 1" balls and sauté in oil in a large skillet until well browned. Set aside. Add all other ingredients except eggs and simmer, uncovered, 30 minutes, or until the sauce has reduced to a thick gravy. Add the meatballs to the sauce and continue to cook 10 to 15 minutes until heated through. Note: at this point you can load it all into a tajine and finish in the oven at 350 degrees, or over low heat on top of the stove. Break eggs into the sauce one by one. Cover and cook until eggs are poached. In the oven this will take about 10 minutes. Serve, using wedges of bread as your only utensils, and stay in your zone!
