Provided by The Mediterranean Dish

Categories     Entree

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 24

1 slice sandwich bread, toasted to a golden brown
1/3 cup milk
1 1/2 lb quality grass-fed ground beef
1 egg
3/4 cup grated yellow onions
2 to 3 garlic cloves, crushed
1/2 cup packed fresh chopped parsley
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp ground allspice
1/2 tsp ground cardamom
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper (optional)
Salt and pepper
Private Reserve extra virgin olive oil
1 cup grated yellow onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 carrot, finely grated
1 28-oz can quality crushed tomatoes
1/2 cup water
1 tbsp pomegranate molasses (optional)
2 bay leaves
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp allspice
Salt and pepper
Crushed red pepper flakes (optional, if you like a spicy sauce)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F, and prepare a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • In a small bowl, place the toasted bread and cover with the milk. Let the bread soak in the milk until very soft and mushy (about 15 minutes), then squeeze the bread well to wring all the milk out.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add the bread, ground beef, and the remaining meatballs ingredients. Using clean hands, mix/knead to combine.
  • Form the meat mixture into meatballs (each the size of a tablespoon.) Arrange the meatballs in one layer on the prepared baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in 375 degrees F heated oven for 11 to 14 minutes or so. (don't worry if they're not fully done at this point, take them out and set aside)
  • While meatballs are baking, prepare the sauce. In a 5-quart braiser like this one or a large, deep saute pan like this one, heat 2 tbsp olive oil until shimmering but not smoking. Add the onions and cook over medium heat for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring regularly, until golden. Add the garlic and cook for a quick 30 seconds while tossing.
  • Now add carrots, crushed tomatoes and the remaining sauce ingredients. Bring sauce to a boil for 5 minutes or so, then lower heat.
  • Add the meatballs to the sauce, cover and let simmer for 20 minutes or so until the meatballs are fully cooked through. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if you like.
  • Serve in dinner bowls with Lebanese rice or warm pita. A side of fattoush salad is a great addition to this meal.

  • Cucumber Yogurt Sauce. You can whip up this tangy, creamy sauce in about 5 minutes. There’s no actual cooking required! The ingredients list is simple – cucumbers, yogurt, water, fresh mint, garlic, and salt.
  • Lebanese Lentil Soup. If you’re looking for a dense, hearty soup that’ll keep your belly full on a long night, try Lebanese lentil soup. It combines an entire pound of lentils with vegetable broth, carrots, celery, sweet potatoes, garlic, and plenty of other nutritious, filling ingredients.

  • Hummus. Hummus is incredible, and this recipe will help you make the smoothest, creamiest, most superb hummus possible. The contrast between the garlic and lemon juice gives it a unique flavor that will linger on your tongue (in a good way!)
  • Lebanese Green Bean Salad. When you first check out this recipe, don’t be scared off by the 2 hours and 5 minutes of cook time. This dish is so easy to make.

  • Peel off stripes of the skin of the aubergine so it resembles a zebra pattern, then chop into 1 ½ cm (½ in) cubes. Mix with 100 ml of the olive oil and some salt. Transfer to the two baking sheets and roast until nearly fully (but not quite fully) softened, around 15 minutes. I place the two baking sheets in the middle and high in the oven. Keep an eye on them and swap their places if one cooks faster than the other (ovens vary a lot on this). Set aside.
  • Heat a thick-bottomed pot over medium/ low heat. Fry the onion in the remaining 2 Tbsp (30 ml) olive oil until softened, but not coloured, stirring regularly. This usually takes 8-10 minutes. Add the garlic, allspice, cinnamon and a little salt and pepper. Fry for 30 seconds, stirring constantly, then add the tomatoes, sugar and 100 ml water. Mix well, bring to the boil and leave to simmer, covered, for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavours to settle.
  • Add the lemon juice, roasted aubergine and cooked chickpeas. Continue to cook, covered, until the aubergine is completely soft, another 10-20 minutes. Taste for seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, sugar or lemon juice to taste.
