- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon seven spices

Instructions
Kafta Meatballs
- In a bowl, add the ground beef and mix it well with 3 tablespoons of olive oil, seven spices, and salt. Meanwhile, place a large skillet on high heat and generously spray it with cooking oil or olive oil.
- Form the seasoned kafta meat into 2 inch size balls. Sear the meatballs for 1 minute on each side or until browned. They will remain raw on the inside and that is okay, they will cook with the boiling stew. Remove using a spoon. Set aside or place into the pot of sautéed veggies if ready.
Stew
- To a large pot add olive oil on medium heat. Sauté the cubed potatoes for 5 minutes or until golden brown. Add in the onions and peppers and continue to sauté for another 5-7 minutes.
- Add in the kafta meatballs, cubed tomatoes, tomato paste, salt, and seven spices, then add water until all the ingredients are immersed. Allow to come to a boil then place on medium heat for 15-20 minutes. Taste and adjust the salt to your liking. Enjoy with warm rice!
Notes
You can make this meal using only one pot! All you have to do is to sauté the kafta balls in the pot at first, then remove them and place them on a plate. In the same pot you then begin to sauté your potatoes and veggies, then add the meatballs once the veggies are cooked.
