=== The Kefta ===
1 lb Ground lamb
2 tb Chopped fresh parsley
1 tb Chopped fresh coriander
1/2 ts Ground cumin
1/2 c Onion -- finely chopped
1/4 ts Cayenne pepper
2 tb Olive oil -- for pan frying

=== The Sauce ===
2 Garlic cloves -- chopped
2 md Onions -- chopped fine
1 Green bell pepper -- chopped
1 bn Parsley, small bunch -- chop
2 lb Tomatoes, ripe -- chopped
1 t Ground cumin
1 t Freshly ground -
Pepper -- or to taste
1/2 ts Ground cinnamon
2 tb Fresh lemon juice
1/4 ts Cayenne pepper
1 1/2 ts Salt -- or to taste
=== The Garnish ===
6 Eggs
Combine all the ingredients for the kefta and with
wet hands form into 1-inch balls.
Heat a 6- to 8-quart stove-top casserole and add
the olive oil. Brown the meatballs in the oil, then
remove, leaving the oil in the pot. Set the meatballs
aside, covered.
Add the garlic, onion and bell pepper to the
reserved oil and saute until the onion is clear. Add
the remaining ingredients for the sauce and simmer,
covered, 30 minutes until the sauce has cooked down to
a thick gravy.
Return the meatballs to the sauce and simmer
uncovered 10 minutes more.
Carefully break the eggs into the sauce and poach
for a few minutes (don't overcook the eggs).
Serve at once directly from the pan.
Comments: "Tangine" simply refers to a fine stew
spiced with the flavors of Morocco. Since one is to
eat it with the fingers these meatballs are convenient
-- and the sauce is great with couscous.
