Cumin Kefta (Meatballs)

Have you ever had one of those days when you open the fridge or the pantry and just stare trying to figure out what to make for dinner? Well, stare no more, this is a super easy and delicious meal that you can whip out in less than 20 min.


What You Need:

1 lb. lean ground beef
1/4 cup chopped parsley
4 garlic cloves, crushed
1 egg
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp all spice
1/2 tsp. onion powder
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper (optional)
1 Tbsp breadcrumbs
salt and pepper to taste
2 cans tomato sauce

What To Do:

  1. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, garlic, egg, parsley, bread crumbs, and all the spice. Mix well.
  2. Shape into finger-shaped or round meatballs. Set aside.
  3. Heat oil in a skillet on medium-high heat. Add the meatballs and brown them on both sides. (Better to work in batches so meat could brown properly).
  4. In a large saucepan, add the tomato sauce, same amount of spices used in the meatballs mixture. Let simmer for 5 min.
  5. Add the browned meatballs and cook for 7-10 min.
  6. Serve with cooked pasta, white rice, bulgur, or crusty French bread.
