Recipe Card

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,

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.
