Moroccan meat skewers, or kefta, are made with beef and formed into sausage shapes. Our variation uses ground pork and a hefty dose of spices rolled into little meatballs.
Meatballs are easy to make, and they’re a good way to get everyone at a party involved in the cooking. These get a pep from fresh ginger along with the fragrant Moroccan spice blend ras el hanout.

Stuffed Chipotle Meatballs
These meatballs come with a surprise–hard boiled eggs in the center. Be sure to serve them over rice to sop up the rich, spicy sauce, and top with cilantro for a little color.

Caramelized Vegetable and Meatball Soup
This soup is built on root vegetables roasted until sweet, dense, and crisply browned. Roast meatballs at the same time, pour in broth, and you have soup straight from the oven.
