Persian petit meatballs (Kofteh rizeh Yazdi)

Peel the onion and grate it.

Extract juice from grated onion. Add all ingredients to grated onion. Mix well until combine together.

Shape the meat mixture into little balls, the size of a walnut.

Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add meat balls.

Cook until brown

Then add ¼ cup water and cherry tomatoes to the meat balls and let the cook for 10 minutes with the lid partially covering the pan.

I served meat balls with steamed rice-potato but as I mentioned it might be served with flat bread too and salad, yogurt and pickles on the side.
