Kefta with Tahini Sauce ( Kefta bil Tahini)

Kefta
3lbs ground meat
2  large onion
1 1/2 bunch  parsley
1 teaspoon 7 spice mix

2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
5 cloves garlic
Sauce
1/2 cup tahini sauce

2-3 cups water
2 cloves garlic
2 lemons,juiced
salt
Other Components
7 Potatoes
oil to fry potatoes




How2:

  • Mix parsley,onions,spices garlic in food processor.
  • Add that mixture to ground beef. add salt n pepper.
  • peel cut potatoes into rounds, fry them like french fries.
  • make balls or football shaped pieces of the beef mixture.
  • if your making this on stove top like me you must sear the beef to get brown.
  • Once the beef meatballs brown top with the potatoes.
  • In a bowl mic tahini sauce with 2 cups water, lemon juice,garlic and some salt. save extra cup in case you need more during cooking.
  • keep the kefta on about med-high heat add the tahini mixture. Add that extra cup of water just so its slightly over the meatballs. 
  • Dont worry if it looks water at this stage it will cook down and the sauce with thicken.
  • cover and cook for about 20mins on low until the kefta is fully cooked and the sauce is thick. if you feel during the cooking process that u need more liquid add more because each stove is different.

 If you want to BAKE this:
 add kefta balls to a baking dish you don't have to cook them leave them raw. 
top with the potatoes, followed by the tahini sauce mixture. add water to be sure its slightly submerged if it isn't. cover bake for about 20mins until kefta is cooked and sauce is thick at 350df.
