Kefta
Definition:
Kefta is the Moroccan word for ground meat, particularly ground beef, ground lamb or a combination of the two. In Moroccan recipes, kefta is usually well-seasoned with salt, paprika, cumin, parsley and cilantro. Cinnamon, hot paprika, onion and mint leaves are popular additions.
Kefta is usually ground fresh per order at a butcher, and customers can choose to have the spices, herbs, and additional fat mixed in as the meat is being ground. Many Moroccans, however, prefer to season the meat at home.
