Suggest a better descriptionKeftas, from North Africa, are meatballs prepared with ground lamb or beef and a number of herbs and spices. They appear in a variety of dishes, such as stews, and also as brochettes hot off the charcoal grill. The seasonings range from chili to cinnamon and usually include a Moroccan favorite, fresh mint. These keftas are delicious served with pita bread, low-fat yogurt, tomatoes and lettuce or with cooked rice. Note: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20 minutes. Combine all ingredients, cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or up to 24 hours. Shape into 30 1 1/2-inch meatballs and thread them on six skewers. (You may slightly flatten them to make sausage shapes or leave them as balls.) Prepare a gas grill or charcoal fire. Grill for 3 minutes on each side, or just until no longer pink inside. Alternatively, broil the meatballs for 2 minutes on each side. 176 CALORIES PER SERVING: 15 G PROTEIN, 12 G FAT, 3 G CARBOHYDRATE; 227 MG SODIUM; 0 MG CHOLESTEROL.
