Another Middle Eastern-inspired meatball recipe, this time with beef. Do you see a trend here? I’ve got a lamb version coming soon (hopefully – if my idea works out).

Pomegranate Beef Meatballs
1 lb. ground beef
1/3 c. slivered almonds
3 Tbsp. pomegranate molasses
3 Tbsp. nutritional yeast
2 Tbsp. pomegranate arils
3 Tbsp. cilantro, chopped
1/2 small onion, minced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 Tbsp. turmeric
2 Tbsp. fish sauce or Worcestershire (check labels if paleo or gf)
Salt & pepper
Preheat your oven to 200C/375F and prepare a baking sheet.
Combine all ingredients with your hands, mixing well.
Form into meatballs – mine were roughly golf ball shaped.
Bake about 15 minutes.
Great alongside last week’s recipe for Pomegranate & Fig Salad.
Makes enough to serve 4
