Kefta d'agnello con yogurt alla menta - MAROCCO

The weather is still great here in Stockholm. Yesterday was so nice, sunny and warm with 30 degrees. Yesterday was also the Swedish National Day and a public holiday, I spent the whole afternoon in the city center by the water with some friends (and everybody else in Stockholm) having lunch outside, walking and eating ice-cream...

Today I am jus relaxing at home and doing one of my favorite hobbies... cooking. I have made lamb keftas with mint yoghurt and cous-cous, this is my favorite of all dishes we prepared at the Moroccan cooking course last winter. Keftas are Moroccan meatballs and they can be prepared in many different ways, stuffed or plain like these ones and with different kinds of meat.

This morning the sun rose at 3:39 (and it will go down at 21:56). It is a chock every year when summer comes because there is SO much light... you kind of forget during winter when it is so dark. This morning I got up VERY early... at 8:30, this is unusual for me because I love sleeping, I went to the nearest supermarket and both all ingredients for this dish.
.

Between all the aromatic herbs I could smell the mint with its pungent perfume... so nice and fresh. Mint reminds me of the summers spent up on the Alps with my family, taking long walks to get to the mountain dew and looking at flowers, plants and smelling all the perfumes of the wild herbs... wild mint was one of them.
.

I bought so much of each ingredient that I actually produced an industrial amount of keftas... well, it is ok, I have my Monday packet lunch and I will freeze the rest (see picture below). It will be so easy and fast to use them in a critical situation... when I do not have time to cook or my fridge is empty.
.

I prepared some cous-cous that was perfect with keftas. This dish is very easy and quick to make. Most important of all it is really DELICIOUS... the mint gives it a very fresh and summery taste.
