Method

1. 1.Start by heating a fillet of olive oil in the bottom of your tajine over medium heat.
2. 2.Cook the chopped onion until it becomes translucent and slightly golden, without letting it burn.
3. 3.Then add the tomato pulp, chopped fresh herbs, salt, pepper and cumin. Mix well and simmer over very low heat while you prepare the kefta.
4. 4.For the kefta, place the ground meat in a large salad bowl. Season it with salt, pepper, cumin and paprika according to your taste.
5. 5.Place the previously washed onion, garlic clove, parsley and cilantro in the chopper until a finely chopped mixture is obtained.
6. 6.Add this aromatic mixture to the meat and work with your hands for a few minutes to blend the flavors. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
7. 7.Form pellets the size of a ping-pong ball, then gently place them on the tomato sauce in the tajine. Cover and cook 15 minutes over very low heat.
8. 8.After this time, lift the lid and break the eggs directly on the pellets, as much as you like! Close the tajine immediately.
9. 9.Let cook for about 8 minutes while regularly monitoring the cooking: the white must be taken but the yellow still flowing. Serve hot with traditional Moroccan bread or white rice. Enjoy!
