Fish kefta - Moroccan fish balls
Cooking time: 30 min. / 10 min.Difficulty: easy
For this delicacy, I didn`t hesitate to travel to 5 km distant village. Sardine kefta was my favourite. Grilled straight on the street, mashed with a knife and stuffed into a fresh, still warm bread. With chopped onion and chilli sauce, irresistible combination. And price? 4 dirhams! :) (year 2016)
Process
Mix all ingredients for kefta. Create 2,5-3 cm balls and put on grill. Grill from both sides till done. It takes around 10 minutes.
In Morocco on the streets they serve fish kefta the way, they put 4-5 fish balls into a flat bread, together with red onion and chilli sauce and they mash and mix it with a knife straight in the bread.
