About Tofu kefta

Tofu Kefta is a plant-based twist on the traditional Middle Eastern and North African kefta, typically made with ground meat and aromatic spices. In this vegetarian version, protein-rich tofu is blended with fresh parsley, cilantro, onion, garlic, and a medley of warming spices like cumin, paprika, and coriander. The mixture is formed into patties or skewers and baked, grilled, or pan-fried. Tofu Kefta is lower in saturated fat compared to its meat-based counterpart, making it a heart-healthy alternative. It’s also packed with essential nutrients like iron, calcium, and antioxidants from the herbs and spices. However, pan-frying can increase calorie and fat content, so baking or grilling is ideal for those seeking a lighter option. Tofu Kefta is versatile and can be served with whole grains, salads, or wraps for a wholesome, nutrient-balanced meal.
