Moroccan Kefta with Watercress salad


Usually made with lamb, we make these with turkey here on Sharon street. In this batch I mixed ground turkey with chopped pistachios, a little ras-el-hanout, and some Moroccan spice mix I got in a spice souk. Any kind of spice mix is good, ground cumin, coriander, paprika. The patties are just fried in a little olive oil and served with good bread and hot sauce.
The salad is a super simple mix of watercress, pomegranate seeds, sherry vinegar, olive oil and salt. Apparantly fresh watercress now has been discovered to have magic qualities in fighting cancer, including lung cancer, so a dirty ex-smoker like me is now to figure out 1001 ways to eat fresh watercress.
