• 1 medium yellow onion very finely chopped, medium yellow onion very finely chopped
• 3 garlic cloves (finely chopped),
• 1 tablespoon coarsely chopped mint,
• 1/ 2 pound ground veal or beef,
• 1/ 2 pound ground lamb,
• 1/ 2 teaspoon ground allspice,
• 1/ 2 teaspoon cayenne pepper,
• 1/ 2 teaspoon nutmeg,
• 3 tablespoon pomegranate molasses,
• Salt and pepper,

Method

• Step 1

  Chop the onion untill it is mushy. I don't use bread or an egg as a binder for the koftas so if the onion is too coarse, the ground meat may break up. ( if you have an onion chopper or small food blender that would help)

• Step 2

  In a medium sized bowl, mix the chopped onions, garlic and ground meats until they are evenly distributed.

• Step 3

  Add the spices and mix thoroughly.

• Step 4

  With damp hands, divide the meat into 10 equal pieces and roll into long patties about 3 inch long and an inch thick ( they will shrink) .

• Step 5

  n a slightly oiled non stick pan or skillet cook patties on a medium heat for 10 minutes.

• Step 6

  During the last couple of minutes, brush patties with pomegranate syrup and continue cooking and turnining occasionally till glazed and rich brown in color.
