Yield Makes 24-30 meatballs

Number Of Ingredients 25

Ingredients

Meatballs:
1 large onion, peeled and quartered
1 ½ cups (180g) raw pistachio kernels
½ cup (15g) fresh plain bread crumbs
3 cups (250g) chopped fresh parsley
1 cup (85g) chopped fresh tarragon, or 2 tablespoons dried
1 cup (85g) chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons fine sea salt
2 lb (900g) ground dark meat turkey
1 egg
½ cup olive oil, for brushing meatballs
Glaze:
¾ cup (180ml) pomegranate molasses
¼ (60ml) cup grape molasses
¼ cup (60ml) pomegranate juice
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
For serving:
1 cup (150g) pomegranate seeds (arils)
Lavash, lettuce, and fresh basil for serving (optional)

Steps:

To make the meatballs: Place all the ingredients, except the ground turkey and egg, in a food processor and pulse until you have a grainy paste. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and add the turkey and egg. Lightly knead with your hands for a few minutes (do not over-mix). Cover and chill in the fridge for at least 10 minutes or up to 24 hours.
Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Generously oil a wide, non-reactive baking dish, large enough to fit 24 meatballs, (about 12 x 14 in/30 x 35 cm) and set aside.
Remove the turkey mixture from the fridge and shape into walnut-sized balls (about 1 1/2 tablespoons each, using an ice-cream scoop). Place the meatballs in the baking dish and brush well with oil. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes, until bottoms of the meatballs are lightly golden.
Meanwhile, in another mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients for the glaze.
Spoon the glaze over the meatballs and bake for another 5 minutes to infuse them with the flavor of pomegranate.
Garnish with the pomegranate arils and serve warm with the sauce. These meatballs are perfect for wrapping with sprigs of fresh basil in lavash bread or green lettuce.

Time 27m

Yield 24 meatballs

Number Of Ingredients 24

Ingredients

1 small onion, completely chopped
1 1/2 cups raw pistachios
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
2 cups fresh parsley, chopped
1 cup fresh tarragon, chopped
1 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon salt
2 lbs ground lamb
1 egg
1/2 cup canola oil or 1/2 cup olive oil
3/4 cup pomegranate molasses
1/4 cup honey or 1/4 cup grape molasses
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons chopped pistachios
1 sprig basil
mixed sprouts
mint
1 cup fresh pomegranate

Steps:

To make the meatballs: Pulse all the ingredients, except the meat and egg, in a food processor until you have a grainy paste.
Transfer to a large mixing bowl and add the meat and egg. Lightly knead with your hands for a few minutes (do not over mix).
Cover and place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes and up to 24 hours.
Preheat the oven to 500?F. Generously oil a wide, nonreactive baking dish (wide enough to fit 24 meatballs, about 12x14 inches) and set aside.
Remove the paste from the refrigerator and shape into bite-sized balls (about 1 1/2 tablespoons each, you can use an ice cream scoop) and place the meatballs in the baking dish and brush well with oil. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl combine all the ingredients for the glaze. It is important that you taste the glaze and be sure that it has a good balance between sweet and sour-add more honey if the pomegranate molasses you have used is too sour.
Reduce the oven to 400?F. Glaze the meatballs and bake for another 5 minutes to infuse them with the flavor of the pomegranate. Adjust seasoning to taste. If too sour add more honey; if too sweet add more pomegranate molasses. Keep warm in the oven until ready to serve.
Place the meatballs with its sauce in deep serving dish and garnish.

Peel and grate the onion, and stir-fry half of it with some oil in a pot so its raw smell is gone. Then, add the ground walnuts as well and stir until their raw smell is gone as well. Keep staring so that the walnuts do not stick to the pan.
Now, add the tomato paste and the spices and stir. When you see the walnut’s oil, add 3 to 4 cups of hot water and put the pot’s lid on and let it cook slowly.
Knead the ground meat with the rest of the grated onion, cinnamon, and salt. Shape the mix into little meatballs (as big as a walnut) and fry them in a pan.

Notes and tips to make these pomegranate pistachio koftas with bulgur: Use 85%-90% lean ground beef or a combination of ground beef and lamb. Super lean beef would result in grainy koftas, so I don't recommend it. I prefer to use ground pistachios to make these pistachio koftas but chopped pistachios would work just as fine.
