Knead the ground lamb, grated onion, salt, black pepper, and allspice for 5 minutes.
Roll walnut sized meatballs from the mixture.
Heat the olive oil in a wide pan and turn the meatballs for 6 minutes, until browned on all sides.
Add the sour cherries and pomegranate molasses to the pan.
Cover and cook for 15 minutes, until the cherry juice turns saucy.
Uncover and gloss the sauce for 3 minutes.
Sprinkle with parsley and serve hot.
💡 Tip: If the sour cherries are very sweet, increase the pomegranate molasses by half a tablespoon; the goal is a tart, meaty balance.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve the sour cherry lamb bites with thin flatbread, sumac onions, and plain rice pilaf.
