we serve it with crusty bread either baguette or moroccan bread
my cheat sheet here i'm watching cooking with ali again to try my hand at another moroccan tagine
today is tajin kefta bed or meatball tagine with eggs this is a moroccan technique i've never seen
in another cuisine where you're grating tomatoes today's recipe is inspired by cooking with alia
she's got a couple different versions i also saw a moroccan food tour add various versions
of meatball egg tagine today i want you to tell me how i'm doing cooking in the american kitchen
almost done here with the tomatoes how much will you make of tomatoes this is two kilos of tomatoes
no you didn't use all almost i took more out i'm gonna use them all we're getting saucy today
i like saucy her recipe was for 150 grams of meat which is like a quarter pound they were cooking
two and a half pounds of meat so we're having some family over for dinner maybe trying moroccan food
for the first time so let's hope they like it i've never seen this before i saw in one of those hack
videos my mom had it here it's a garlic peeler i don't know if i'm quite using it right because
i still need to get some of that paper i think they got wet so it makes a little
bit more difficult but you're supposed to put it in there give it a crack give it a rub and
it's supposed to take the paper off but i think my garlic's too wet and this garlic's from china
how crazy is that we're gonna balance this garlic from a faraway land with some herbs right from
our garden in the backyard so let's go check those out we're here just the other day for our tagging
video we cut these all the way down and they're already grown back with all the sun and rain
and let's get some cilantro as well
no
still okay we didn't lose it in the mints i mean it smells so good yeah you like it
i don't feel like chopping it so i'm trying to grate it it kind of works huh what do you think
all right and i got an onion i'm gonna grate that the same way
no chopping today add our garlic and onion we put a lot of garlic in there it's gonna be yummy
using my scissors to chop up today trying to get it nice and fine this parsley and cilantro mix
straight from aldi to this cafe tajin we have two and a half pounds of beef so just
over a kilo and that was costing eight dollars and six cents here 2021 america
now to this i'm going to add the spices paprika cumin salt chili powder and cinnamon that's going
to be the moroccan x factor today giving this meatball tagine a unique flavor wow look at all
those spices i'm gonna put some herbs in there come on i hear my tagine bubbling over here i'm
gonna go check on it alia was cooking it like this andrea thinks i should cover it what do you think
i don't know i always listen to andrea
all right now i'm gonna just mix this with my hands hopefully not get so much spices on me
hmm sermon smells good i wonder if my family is going to like this recipe
tagine of kefta meatballs is usually a kid-friendly one so i hope my nieces
like it and i forgot to mention i had two grated onions that i mix this beef and spice mixture with
so i think this is pretty uniformly mixed wash my hands or get the spices out of there you know
wash them with the meat i think that's good we don't want the garlic or the onion to overcook
so we're gonna add the tomato sauce now hopefully this isn't too much tomato sauce
it's four pounds or two kilos of tomatoes we're gonna add this we're gonna add some fresh herbs
we're going to add the same spices minus the cinnamon we have cumin chili powder
paprika and salt and we're gonna give this all a big stir yeah moroccan food a lot of spices
and kefta tajin you want your meatballs to be small these are not my grandma's meatballs
taking a while to thicken up but almost ready that's good
i would just put the balls in yeah yeah nope now oh grandma's calling yeah she said
yeah we got meatball tagine
oh no not yet still low raw
the meatballs are cooked so now i'm gonna put in the eggs okay um
how long have the meatballs been cooking long enough you don't want
to cook them too long or else they get i hear moms saying that they're not
cooked yet the last time this is moroccan kitchen okay all right looks really good
one more dose of fresh herbs on there
cool so how does it take the heat like i don't understand like a top like it must be like thicker
surrounding all right everyone to the table it's touching time wash your hands food safety
look at the eggs on there that looks so
good
there's so much juice in there yeah yeah you guys try it but you can do it like this you
know dipping's okay it might be less messy if you put it on your plate though i might use a spoon
you know just eat around it you have to drink the juice it's juicy i don't know why it's so juicy i
didn't cook the tomato long enough maybe yeah i think so because tomato is like 80 percent water
that is really good and then the meatball is really fat cheese what are you saying
amelia it's really good really good all right grammy likes to say it's delicious
i'm gonna take some of this this is yours this is yours this is mine yeah okay

oregano that's a good business what is it we have produce guy here tasting the herbs
i like this one the sauce is really good it's my favorite part because you guys
won't be here to eat the leftover stand and stand in the house split them yeah of course
secret there's paprika in there paprika and the last one it gives it some brightness wait
it's usually used with a sweet cinnamon yeah i like that yeah um when you first
i remember like your first like tajin video or something i had no clue what a tagine tasted like
and when you said the juice was your favorite part i was like what is the juice like is it
just juice like from something i didn't think it would be that good and then after trying all the
juices it is the best part it's got so much flavor it's really good yeah it's actually pretty good
there's more
