Persian-Inspired Meatballs image

Advieh, herbs, and pomegranate molasses give these lamb meatballs a Persian flair. Serve with flatbreads and yogurt or over a green salad. If you go the salad route, include some fresh herbs and pomegranate molasses to match the meatballs.

Time 58m

Yield 30

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 ½ pounds ground lamb
½ cup panko bread crumbs
½ cup minced scallions
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
1 tablespoon advieh
2 teaspoons dried dill
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 eggs, lightly beaten
cooking spray
2 tablespoons pomegranate molasses, or to taste

Steps:

  • Combine lamb, bread crumbs, scallions, mint, advieh, dill, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add beaten eggs; knead by hand until smooth and sticky. Cover and refrigerate until flavors blend, at least 30 minutes.
  • Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
  • Form the lamb mixture into 1-inch balls. Arrange on a rimmed baking sheet. Mist the tops with cooking spray.
  • Broil in the preheated oven for 5 minutes. Rotate the baking sheet and broil for 3 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 140 degrees F (60 degrees C).
  • Brush the meatballs with pomegranate molasses as soon as they come out of the oven.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my meatballs turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked them.

Overall, I thought these meatballs were pretty good. The flavor was good, but they were a little bit too dense for my liking.
