Ingredients

2 lbs ground beef

3 tbsp dried pomegranate seeds, ground or soaked

1 /2 cup chopped cilantro

1/2 cup chopped green onion

1 shallot, minced

8 garlic cloves, minced

3 tbsp Noshejan Murch-e Masala Dar

Oil for frying

2 limes, quartered

1 jalapeño, sliced

A few sprigs of cilantro

2 large tomatoes, sliced

1 red onion, halved and sliced thin

Lavash or flatbread

Plain Greek yogurt

Instructions

Combine the ground beef, pomegranate seeds, chopped cilantro, green onion, garlic, shallot, and Noshejan Murch-e Masala Dar in a large mixing bowl. Mix well until thoroughly combined.

To form the kabab, take 1/2 cup of the beef mixture, form into a ball, and smash it flat between your palms about 1/2" thick. Press the edges in to form a patty that is as round as possible.

In a large frying pan, add enough oil to coat the bottom. Heat over medium-high heat.

Working in batches if needed, cook each patty until crispy on the outside, about 2-3 minutes per side, until the internal temperature reads 145°.

Serve with limes, jalapeños, cilantro, tomatoes, red onion, lavash, and Greek yogurt.
