Directions
My Lubia Chala With Kefta, This is classic Moroccan home fare! It is a mix of fresh green beans with tomatoes, seasonings and kefta (ground meat), beef in this case You can also omit the beef for a wonderful vegetable dish as we often do We use a communal platter and flat bread to eat it with for this meal This is pronounced as an sh as are all words beginning with ch here and is the word for hair This is *absolutely not* meant to be a spicy dish, as most Moroccan food is not spicy anyway Lubia chala are always a comfort food and meant to be flavorful yet retaining the full flavor of the beans; this is the food of every day If you want spicy, visit Tunisia who has a love affair with the hot pepper, Morocco does not c 2006, Simple easy, has vegetables I doubled the recipe, because I had meat I needed to use Unfortunately I did not have turmeric, and had to settle with some curry powder that had a lot of turmeric in it I did add a little spice (rotel canned tomatoes, Cajun seasoning, and added onion powder) I really want to do this again and follow the recipe exactly, because I feel like it would be a bit better and different than my normal fare , This has become a staple in my kitchen Everybody loves it My kids call it Moroccan Hamburger Helper It is easy to make, goes with any kind of grain or bread, and beats the heck out of anything from a box We love it (stick to the exact recipe and you will not be disappointed!)

Make Sure That the Green Beans Are Soft, No Crisp Green Beans Are Served Here! I Have Also Done This Recipe With Canned Green Beans and Have Found It to Be Very Good and a Good Way to Have Green Beans Out of Season. Use 2 Cans If Using Canned Beans. |
