Adım adım

1. 1

   In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, grated onion, chopped parsley, chopped cilantro, paprika, cumin, black pepper, and salt for the kefta. Mix well with your hands until everything is thoroughly combined.

   Yaklaşık 5 dk.

   Aşçının notu: Do not overmix the meat, as it can make the kefta tough.

2. 2

   Roll the meat mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.

   Yaklaşık 10 dk.

   Aşçının notu: Lightly oil your hands to prevent the meat mixture from sticking.

3. 3

   Heat the olive oil in a tagine or a large, deep skillet over medium heat.

   Yaklaşık 2 dk.

4. 4

   Add the chopped onion to the hot oil and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

   Yaklaşık 7 dk.

5. 5

   Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

   Yaklaşık 1 dk.

   Aşçının notu: Be careful not to burn the garlic.

   Pour in the water and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer.

   Carefully place the kefta meatballs into the simmering sauce. Cover the tagine or skillet and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through.

   Yaklaşık 20 dk.

   Aşçının notu: Ensure the sauce is simmering gently to prevent the meatballs from breaking apart.

   Make four small wells in the sauce between the meatballs. Crack one egg into each well.

    Cover the tagine or skillet again and continue to cook for 5-8 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your desired consistency.
