For a richer flavor, consider using a combination of ground lamb and ground beef. If advieh is unavailable, a mixture of cumin, coriander, turmeric, and cardamom can be used as a substitute. Adjust the amount of pomegranate molasses to suit your personal taste preference. Serve the meatballs immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a large bowl, gently combine the ground lamb, panko bread crumbs, minced scallions, chopped fresh mint, advieh, dried dill, kosher salt, and ground black pepper. (5 minutes)
02
StepAdd the lightly beaten eggs to the mixture. With clean hands, knead the ingredients together until a smooth and sticky texture is achieved, ensuring the flavors meld harmoniously. (5 minutes)
03
StepCover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to fully develop and the meat mixture to firm up. (30 minutes)
04
StepPosition an oven rack approximately 6 inches from the broiler and preheat the broiler to high heat. (5 minutes)
05
StepGently shape the lamb mixture into 1-inch meatballs. Arrange the meatballs evenly on a rimmed baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded. (10 minutes)
06
StepLightly mist the tops of the meatballs with cooking spray to promote even browning. (1 minute)
07
StepBroil the meatballs in the preheated oven for 5 minutes, then rotate the baking sheet and broil for an additional 3 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and nicely browned. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a meatball should register at least 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). (8 minutes)
08
StepAs soon as the meatballs are removed from the oven, brush them generously with pomegranate molasses, allowing the tangy-sweet glaze to coat each meatball evenly. (2 minutes)
