Personal Notes:
Kafta nayé is a wonderful addition to the mazza table, but it is made with raw meat. My mother always bought fresh meat when she made this dish. Do not use thawed ground beef that was previously frozen. You want to make sure that you have fresh and lean ground beef or ground lamb for this dish.
