How to make Lebanese Meatball Pot 3

Why cooks start here

Lebanese Meatball Pot 3 is cooked the way Lebanese home tables cooks it — salt judged by hand, fat used generously, and the table set for sharing. This is the home version, written down the way a lebanese family cook actually puts it on the table.

Lebanese Meatball Pot 3 is a beloved staple at home tables across Lebanon, often prepared for casual family dinners and weekday gatherings. This dish captures the essence of Lebanese home cooking, where the hand measures salt, and the ladle is never shy with the fat. It's a dish that finds its place on the table without fanfare, simply enjoyed for its comforting familiarity. The meatballs, made with ground beef and finely chopped onions, are tender, with a gentle binding of egg and breadcrumbs, while juicy tomatoes lend a subtle acidity. The result is a savory pot where each bite is a harmony of seasoned beef and gently stewed tomato, seasoned generously with fine sea salt and black pepper.
