Seasoned with aromatic and toasty ras el hanout, these beef koftas make for a beautiful and simple dinner in no time. We’ve filled our koftas with bright celery leaves and crunchy red onion along with some panko to hold it all together. In this recipe we’ve chosen to use beef, but feel free to do a 50/50 mix of beef and lamb mix for a richer and more distinctive flavor.
