Pistachio and Pomegranate Meatballs (Kufteh-Ye Pesteh-o Anar) image

Steps:

  • To make the meatballs: Place all the ingredients, except the ground turkey and egg, in a food processor and pulse until you have a grainy paste. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and add the turkey and egg. Lightly knead with your hands for a few minutes (do not over-mix). Cover and chill in the fridge for at least 10 minutes or up to 24 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Generously oil a wide, non-reactive baking dish, large enough to fit 24 meatballs, (about 12 x 14 in/30 x 35 cm) and set aside.
  • Remove the turkey mixture from the fridge and shape into walnut-sized balls (about 1 1/2 tablespoons each, using an ice-cream scoop). Place the meatballs in the baking dish and brush well with oil. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes, until bottoms of the meatballs are lightly golden.
  • Meanwhile, in another mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients for the glaze.
  • Spoon the glaze over the meatballs and bake for another 5 minutes to infuse them with the flavor of pomegranate.
  • Garnish with the pomegranate arils and serve warm with the sauce. These meatballs are perfect for wrapping with sprigs of fresh basil in lavash bread or green lettuce.

1 large onion, peeled and quartered
1 ½ cups (180g) raw pistachio kernels
½ cup (15g) fresh plain bread crumbs
3 cups (250g) chopped fresh parsley
