Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

For the Lamb Meatballs
1 pound ground lamb
1/2 cup chopped fresh mint leaves
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 red onion, grated on a box grater
1 tablespoon canola oil
For the Yogurt and Pomegranate Seed Sauce
5 ounces Greek yogurt
1 1/2 tablespoons milk or water
Seeds from 1 pomegranate
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the lamb meatballs: In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb, fresh mint, cayenne, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, salt, and red onion. Mix together with your hands until thoroughly mixed and slightly sticky. Form mixture into 16 balls, approximately two inches wide. 2 Adjust top oven rack to six inches below the broiler. Preheat broiler to high. Add oil to rimmed baking sheet. Add the meatballs, and roll them around until they are coated in the oil. Arrange in two rows in such a way that they will cook evenly under the broiler element. Transfer pan to the broiler, and cook until meatballs are browned on the top, 4 to 5 minutes. Carefully remove the pan, and use a pair of tongs to flip the meatballs. Return pan to the oven, and cook until browned on the other side, another 4 to 5 minutes. Remove and set pan aside. 3 For the yogurt and pomegranate seed sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the yogurt and milk. When smooth, add pomegranate seeds and fresh mint. Stir well. Season to taste with salt and pepper. 4 Stuff each pita with about a quarter of the sauce and four of the lamb meatballs. Serve immediately.

These meatballs were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would add more liquid to the meatball mixture next time. The sauce was good, but I would have liked it to be a bit thicker.

These meatballs were easy to make and turned out great! I used ground beef instead of lamb, and they were still very flavorful. The sauce was also delicious. I served it over rice, and it was a perfect meal.

I'm not usually a fan of lamb, but these meatballs were surprisingly delicious. The yogurt sauce was tangy and creamy, and the pomegranate seeds added a nice pop of sweetness. I'll definitely be making these again!
