Fisinjan Plov (Azerbijani Pomegranate Meat Stew)

Typically Fisinjan Plov is made with walnuts and lamb. Since you already know how my small boys feel about lamb, and I only had ground almonds, we adapted.

When I told Riley what we were making he asked, "Is our cooking around the world adventure all about meatballs?" Feels like it, doesn't it. We've made meat wrapped in mashed potatoes from Algeria, meat wrapped around a hard-boiled egg from Iran, and we've floated them in a Mexican soup...tonight we made meatballs simmered in pomegranate juice.

1 pound of 96-4 organic ground beef

1 egg

1 T minced garlic

1/2 C ground almonds
1 t ground cinnamon
dash of pink Himalaya salt

pomegranate juice

ground almonds

dried oregano

ground cinnamon

dash of pink Himalaya salt

Mix everything - except the last five ingredients - together in a bowl and form into teaspoon-sized meatballs.

In a large flat-bottom pan, place the last five ingredients and bring them to a boil. Reduce heat. Drop meatballs into the sauce and simmer till cooked through.

As the meatballs cook, the sauce will thicken. When you serve the meatballs, spoon the thickened sauce over the top.

You're Invited: Take a (Virtual) Hawaiian Holiday with #FoodNFlix

Fall Break, Oahu, October 2017 For June, I am hosting Food'N'Flix , the movie-watching, food-making group rallied by Heather of All Roads Lead to the Kitchen . This week, my older son was supposed to graduate from high school and we were supposed to leave on a family vacation to the Big Island. But, as enter our eleventh week of being sheltered in place to flatten the curve of the coronavirus, all of our summer plans were canceled, including this long-planned graduation trip to Hawaii. Boo.
