Kefta as comfort food — exactly what I needed

Some dishes exist to comfort and Kefta is absolutely in that category. The warmly spiced and aromatic quality works on something almost primal — you feel the warmth of it immediately. argan oil does work that no substitute can replicate.

hospitality rituals including mint tea service are integral to the food experience. There's something about the a desert camp dinner context that reinforces the comfort effect. Moroccan mint tea alongside is the traditional way and it makes complete sense. I come back to this dish when I need something dependable and restorative.
