👨‍🍳 Method

For the Meatball mix

  1. 1
    Mix the ground meat with the onion, parsley, baharat, salt and black pepper until evenly combined.
  2. 2
    With wet hands, shape patties the size of golf ball.
    💡Wet hands don't stick to the mixture, and the patties come out smooth and even.
  3. 3
    Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat and grease lightly.
    ⚙ Greased Flat PanStoveGrill pan
    💡A very thin layer of fat, with the excess wiped off with paper towel: too much fat gives spots and fried edges.
  4. 4
    Grill the meatballs 4–5 minutes per side, until they are browned outside and done to your liking.
    Stove
    💡Don't press the patties with a spatula or flip them more than once: the juices run out and the patty dries out or falls apart. It releases from the pan once the underside is browned.
