Steps

20 mins

1

Put the cherries in a bowl and pour water over them until they are just covered (not more). Let soak for around 30 minutes.
2

Meanwhile, mix the meat, nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon, salt and pepper. Knead into paste-like dough.
3

Take walnut-sized pieces of the mix and roll into balls.
4

Fry the meat balls in 5 tablespoons of oil till they start to change colour from the outside. Remove, drain and keep aside.
5

Fry the onion with 1 tablespoon of oil until it turns soft. Mix in the cherries with the soaking water. Add in the lemon juice.
6

Cook over low heat for 10 minutes then stir in the meatballs and simmer for another 10 minutes or until they have absorbed most of the cherry juice.
7

Serve warm with plain rice or pita bread.
