Meatballs are nearly a concept in every culture and are served in limitless ways! Italian meatballs, Korean meatballs, Danish meatballs, Swedish meatballs, Chinese meatballs and \u2026\u2026and most probably much more to be add to the list! The concept applies to Lebanon and the Middle East too! I guess you all are all familiar with\u00a0<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/hadiaslebanesecuisine.com\/content\/grilled-kafta-kebabs\">kafta\/ kofta kebabs<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 ground beef laced with spices, onion and parsley and grilled or baked around metal skewers. If you are looking for a different way of eating meatballs, it is time to consider \u201cDawood Basha\u201d\/ Lebanese meatballs in tomato sauce!!<\/p>\n<p>A main course recipe that appears in my book \u2013 the meatballs neither require breadcrumbs nor long hours of simmering. They are tender and moist and can be made of pure ground beef or simply a combination of both beef and lamb. Lamb adds a pleasant dimension!! A perfect family meal and a pure comfort food for the body and soul! Serve it with Lebanese rice and vermicelli or simply with plain rice.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-9850 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/hadiaslebanesecuisine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/balls-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hadiaslebanesecuisine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/balls-3.jpg 700w, https:\/\/hadiaslebanesecuisine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/balls-3-233x300.jpg 233w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Be sure to ask your butcher to provide you with some fatty ground meat. As the meatballs cook, the fat will render, releasing the flavor and taste in the stew, and will help the meatballs from drying out.<\/li>\n<li>The pine nuts elevate the Dawood Basha to a different level, and they are what make the dish distinctly Lebanese.<\/li>\n<li>If you are a pomegranate molasses lover like me, drizzle a dash overyour plate.<\/li>\n<li>Traditonally, Dawood Basha balls are made of plain seasoned meat that features neither parsley nor onions. And that is how I posted mine in my book! But still it is so flavorful to add these two ingredients to the minced meat! Try them with or without parsley and onions and choose which version you prefer! Anyway you make them,the result is fantastic. Alternativally, you can shape the balls a bit smaller. There is always a room for personal preference.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-9852 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/hadiaslebanesecuisine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/balls-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hadiaslebanesecuisine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/balls-2.jpg 900w, https:\/\/hadiaslebanesecuisine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/balls-2-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hadiaslebanesecuisine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/balls-2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/hadiaslebanesecuisine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/balls-2-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hadiaslebanesecuisine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/balls-2-164x164.jpg 164w, https:\/\/hadiaslebanesecuisine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/balls-2-138x138.jpg 138w, https:\/\/hadiaslebanesecuisine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/balls-2-500x500.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>And now let&#8217;s\u00a0 get started.<\/h2>\n<p>In a bowl, mix the meat, onion, parsley, allspice, cayenne pepper and salt.

And that is how I posted mine in my book! But still it is so flavorful to add these two ingredients to the minced meat. Try them with or without parsley and onions and choose which version you prefer. Anyway you make them, the result is fantastic. Alternativally, you can shape the balls a bit smaller. There is always a room for personal preference.<\/span><\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div id=\"recipe-9860-ingredients\" class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredients-container wprm-recipe-ingredients-no-images
