De bereidingswijze

Stap voor stap

1
In a medium bowl, combine the ground beef, grated onion, flour, salt, and black pepper for the meatballs.
Ongeveer 5 min
Tip van de kok: Ensure the grated onion is squeezed of excess liquid before adding to the meat mixture.
2
Mix well until just combined, then form into small, marble-sized meatballs and set aside.
Ongeveer 10 min
Tip van de kok: Wet your hands slightly to prevent the meat mixture from sticking.
3
Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Ongeveer 1 min
4
Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
Ongeveer 7 min
5
Stir in the turmeric and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Ongeveer 1 min
6
Add the rinsed split peas to the pot and stir to combine.
Ongeveer 1 min
7
Pour in the pomegranate juice and water, then bring the mixture to a boil.

9
Gently add the prepared meatballs to the simmering soup.
Ongeveer 2 min

11
Continue to simmer, uncovered, for another 20-25 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through, the split peas are tender, and the rice is soft.
Ongeveer 25 min
