Kefta is a traditional dish found in Middle Eastern, North African, and Mediterranean cuisines. It typically consists of ground meat, such as beef, lamb, or a mixture of both, blended with aromatic spices and fresh herbs like cumin, paprika, parsley, and onion. Often shaped into meatballs or oblong patties, kefta can be grilled, baked, or pan-fried. It’s a rich source of protein, B vitamins, and iron, especially when made with lean cuts of meat. When served with fresh vegetables, whole grains, or a yogurt-based sauce, kefta can be part of a balanced, nutrient-dense meal. However, its nutritional profile can vary based on preparation methods—grilling is a healthier option compared to frying, which adds extra fat and calories. Additionally, traditional recipes may include salt for seasoning, so it’s best to watch sodium intake if consumed regularly.
