Lamb Meatballs With Sour Cherries Pomegranates Pistachios Recipes

MEATBALLS IN SOUR CHERRY SAUCE (KABAB KARAZ)

Meatballs in Sour Cherry Sauce (Kabab Karaz) image

The writer Anissa Helou put this bright and tart Syrian dish on the cover of her cookbook "Feast: Food of the Islamic World," which gathers recipes from across the Muslim diaspora. "If there is a dish that symbolizes the cooking of Aleppo, this has to be it," she writes inside; the recipe is adapted from Maria Gaspard-Samra, a chef who taught cooking classes in Aleppo. These small lamb meatballs are browned - take care not to overcook them - and then simmered in a pool of pitted sour cherries, raw cane sugar and pomegranate molasses. Then they are piled on a bed of pita bread triangles drizzled with butter and dusted with chopped parsley and toasted pine nuts. If you can't find fresh or frozen sour cherries, use dried, which you can rehydrate by soaking overnight in water.

Time 45m

Yield 3 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1 pound/450 grams lean ground lamb, from the leg or shoulder
3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 teaspoon Lebanese 7-spice mixture (see notes) or allspice
1 tablespoon/15 grams unsalted butter
2 1/4 pounds/1 kilogram fresh or frozen pitted sour cherries (see notes)
1 tablespoon raw cane sugar
1 tablespoon pomegranate molasses
2 to 3 pita breads, each split into 2 disks and cut into medium triangles
1 tablespoon/15 grams unsalted butter, melted
A few sprigs flat-leaf parsley, most of the bottom stems discarded, finely chopped
1/4 cup/50 grams pine nuts, toasted in a hot oven for 5 to 7 minutes, until lightly golden

Steps:

Make the meatballs: Mix the lamb, salt and spice mixture (or allspice) and shape into small balls, the size of large marbles. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat and sauté the meatballs just until lightly browned. Remove from pan with a slotted spoon and set aside.
Put the cherries, sugar and pomegranate molasses in a pot large enough to eventually hold the meatballs and bring to a bubble over medium heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and, stirring occasionally, simmer for 15 to 25 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened. Add the meatballs and simmer for another 15 minutes, until tender.
Assemble the dish: Arrange the pita bread triangles all over a serving platter, coarse side up, making sure the pointed ends are nicely arranged on the outside. Drizzle the melted butter all over the bread. Spoon the meat and sauce over the bread. Sprinkle the chopped parsley all over, then the toasted pine nuts. Serve immediately.

POMEGRANATE-GLAZED LAMB MEATBALLS

Pomegranate-Glazed Lamb Meatballs image

Back in 2012, for her Good Appetite column, Melissa Clark took inspiration from the kinds of seasonal cocktails usually found at exclusive bars and restaurants and experimented with them at home. She created a selection of drinks, and let them inspire a group of snacks. Among them was this dish, lamb meatballs with a pomegranate glaze, which paired elegantly with the grenadine of an El Presidente cocktail. But they're just as nice without the cocktail. Have them alone, as a light snack or part of an evening of tapas, or pair them with some couscous and goat cheese for a larger meal.

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.
