- Prepare Meatball Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, grated onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, mint, and spice blend, seasoning with salt and pepper. Mix gently until combined.
- Form Meatballs: Shape the mixture into 1.5-inch meatballs with wet hands. Arrange them on a platter.
- Sear Meatballs: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sear the meatballs in batches until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.
- Make Sauce: In the same skillet, sauté chopped onion until translucent, then add garlic and cook until fragrant. Stir in tomato paste, crushed tomatoes, and pomegranate molasses. Simmer for 5 minutes.
- Simmer Meatballs: Return meatballs to the skillet, cover, and simmer for 15–20 minutes until cooked through.
- Serve: Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot with rice or pita.
