Ingredients:

Serving

1 onion, quartered
2/3 cup bulgur , soaked in warm water for 20 minutes then drained
1 lb ground lamb
1 1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 plus 1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 plus 1/8 tsp ground allspice
2 tbsp chopped fresh mint leaves
extra-virgin olive oil , for brushing meatballs , plus 3 tbsp
1 1/2 lb onions, halved and thinly sliced
3 tbsp pine nuts
1/2 cup mixed dried fruit, chopped if large, such as apricots , golden raisins , and currants
3 tbsp pomegranate molasses , or to taste

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
Place the onion in the bowl of a food processor and process to a smooth paste. Add the bulgur, lamb, 1 teaspoon of the salt, 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper, the cinnamon, allspice, and mint and process until mixture is smooth and thoroughly combined. Using damp hands, divide the meat mixture into about 24 evenly sized portions (about 2 tablespoons each) and shape into little torpedo shaped meatballs. Brush the top of each meatball with some of the olive oil, then place on the baking sheet and bake until just cooked through, about 12 to 15 minutes.
While the meatballs are baking, make the caramelized onion topping. Heat a medium skillet until hot. Add the 3 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil and, when hot, add the sliced onions, remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt and remaining 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until onions are soft and beginning to caramelize, about 10 minutes. Add the pine nuts and continue cooking until onions are nicely caramelized and pine nuts are golden, about 10 minutes longer. Add the dried fruit and cook for 5 minutes.
When the lamb meatballs come out of the oven, transfer to a serving platter and top with the caramelized onion mixture. Drizzle with the pomegranate molasses and serve hot.
