## Lamb & apricot meatballs

One of those dishes that holds a Turkish kitchen together. The technique is the long simmer. Do it patiently and the dish does the rest.

Total time

15 minutes

Serves

4

Difficulty

Moderate

Origin

Turkey, ottoman roots

Treat the Red Onions as the lead, not a footnote. Source the best you can find and the dish lifts itself.

No Ground Cumin on hand? Any close cousin in the same family works. The dish is a method, not a parts list.
