About Pork kefta

Pork Kefta is a dish inspired by Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine, traditionally made from ground pork blended with aromatic spices like cumin, coriander, and paprika. Fresh herbs such as parsley or cilantro, along with garlic and onion, add layers of flavor. These seasoned pork mixtures are shaped into oval patties or skewered and grilled to perfection. Pork Kefta is often enjoyed alongside fresh salads, pita bread, or yogurt-based dips like tzatziki. Rich in protein, this dish provides essential nutrients such as B vitamins and iron. However, the fat content can be significant, depending on the cut of pork used, so lean cuts are recommended for a healthier option. While packed with bold flavors, moderation is key due to its sodium content from added spices and seasonings. Balancing Pork Kefta with fiber-rich sides or vegetables enhances its nutritional profile and makes for a satisfying meal.
