Knead the ground beef, ground lamb, bread crumb, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
Shape walnut-sized meatballs from the mixture.
Clean the garlic heads without breaking apart the root ends.
Arrange the meatballs and garlic heads alternately in a tray, placing tomatoes and peppers between them.
Mix the pomegranate molasses with hot water and drizzle over the tray.
Bake at 200°C for 35 minutes.
Rest the tray for 5 minutes and serve while the garlic is soft.
💡 Tip: Do not peel the garlic completely, the skin protects the roots in the oven and turns the centers creamy.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve the hot kebab with optional flatbread and roasted peppers, plus sumac onions if desired.
