A hearty, deeply spiced heritage soup slow-simmered with tender cuts of meat or seafood and aromatic spices, served steaming hot.
Knead the beef with onion, garlic, herbs, and spices until smooth and sticky.
Refrigerate the mixture for 30 minutes so the kefta holds together.
Press the meat firmly around flat metal skewers, flattening each into a long torpedo.
Cook over hot charcoal about 4 minutes per side, turning, until charred outside and cooked through.
Slide off the skewers and serve with harissa, flatbread, and mint tea.
