Lebanese Inspired Keftas ::: roasted tomatoes and tahini yogurt sauce

Not for nothing, but this West Virginia cook found herself transported to Lebanon via Jeff Mauro's kefta recipe.

Pedro and I love keftas. He has tried them in Turkey and I've had variations in Greece. We both experienced the Moraccan rendition in July 2012 on a trip to Fez for a college friend's wedding. All delicious, and this recipe competes with the best.

The only changes we made to the below recipe were to substitute nutmeg for the suggested allspice (we didn't have allspice readily available), and we didn't have any coriander so we didn't include. I'm sure these ingredients would only make the dish better.

This meal is fun to prepare and would make a great small-plate appetizer for a crowd depending on serving portion. It's also great for an afternoon middle eastern BBQ. As you can see - we didn't opt for the ball-park presentation, and instead chose to plate a bit more traditionally.
