One of our favorite foods from Morocco is kofta – who can resist minced lamb and onion packed onto a skewer and cooked on a charcoal grill? This recipe puts a brunch twist on this lamb dish, swapping out skewers for patties and English muffins! The lamb brings so much flavour to the recipe and it’s a fun take on traditional eggs benedict. The Harissa, cumin, and paprika spices bring the flavours of Morocco and the onions keep the meat extra moist.
