Lamb Kefta and Fava Bean Tagine with Preserved Lemon, Olives and Small Red Chilis
Once you shuck the fresh favas, you will have a bowl of green/white broad beans
Favas are wonderful in all types of Mediterranean cuisines and served many ways
These are dried fava beans. They cost about 1/10th the price per pound of fresh favas
Each bean has a thick slin. Good roughage, but chewy. You can peel the favas for a more elegant presentation - but you don't need to for "the family"
These favas were blanched. You can see the brilliant kelly green of the fava with the skin on the left
It takes a little time and care, but skinning each bean will make a wonderful, tender dish
After you blanch the favas, they go into an ice bath
There is no substitute for the best Spanish saffron - a big investment, but a big return
The saffron, tumeric, ground ginger and cracked Tellicherry black pepper will season the tagine
Cilantro (fresh coriander), freshly ground lamb, flat leaf parsely, grated Spanish onion, cumin, paprika and sea salt will season the meatballs
After a thorough mixing of all meatball seasoning & herbs, into the 'fridge for at least an hour to marry the flavors
2 pounds of seasoned lamb make a wall of meatballs
Brown the meatballs well in oil and set aside
The cooking starts with the cilantro, garlic, onion and spice mixture heating in the oil
Add the favas and browned meatballs and a bit of liquid and slow cook for a couple of hours
Morccan Preserved Lemons make all the difference in the flavor profile of this dish
