Oven is set to 450 degrees F. Roast, turning once halfway through, until meatballs are deeply golden on the sides making contact with the baking sheet, about 16-18 minutes. The meatballs should be firm, but with some bounce when you press on them gently!
We made this with lamb/turkey meatballs. Wasn’t sure how that combo was going to come out but EVERYTHING (especially that pickle salsa) was so good we made it again the next day. Thank you for a wonderful recipe!!
It was a lot of work! But I really loved it. I’d probably use a spice grinder for the coriander and fennel. They really made the balls delicious. And I ate the rice leftovers Cold which is fine but I’d keep the salsa and rice separate until I’m ready to reheat in the future! Very economical and enjoyable!
@@shakerbaker11788 I said my box. It's not a combo I have tried cooking personally. But as I said I do like greek food with similar flavor. I swear everyone on the internet is super rude. I thanked her for making me think differently about cooking left a comment and liked the video. No reason to be talking down to me.
@@Secretsofsocietydidn't see it as rude myself at all. It's hard to understand the sentiment behind something online. No inflection and emotions can be falsely attributed and or easily misunderstood.
I made this with Lamb (dill, parsley, cilantro and some thai basil). The pickled rice was super tasty and the technique of using the bottom of the oven were genius. I would say doing it over again, would use mint with lamb, kick up the amount of fennel and coriander. Ideally marry the meat to the herbs instead of using what you have available. Would sub shallot for green onion in the meatball and if I was making it with pork, would definitely use basil and cilantro over other herbs
I watched this video a few days ago and had to make it immediately!!! So so good! I used equal parts lamb and turkey and with the fennel and coriander seed the balls were so tasty!
try using the broiler! I haven't tried using the oven floor, but I've been putting mine in the oven set to broil. it browns the top and sides without burning, and the bottoms get a little bit less browned - but still enough.
Molly, I gotta say, I subbed the meat with sautéed blitzed up mushrooms (maitake, shiitake and king oyster), grated extra firm tofu and cannellini beans, and them balls turned out deeelicious!
Easily the most excited I’ve been about a recipe I had never imagined existing before. 💚💚 The ball references got funnier and funnier with every hat you put on it.
@@kindabluejazz Pescatarian actually but fish would seem a tad funky in this recipe! Love how adaptable Molly's recipes are to suit all dietary needs and cultural needs.
I have an old electric oven with exposed heating elements. How should I cook the balls? Cook in the oven and finish on the stove? The other way around? What temperature(s)?
I browned my meatballs on one side in an oven safe pan over medium heat (takes about ten minutes, be patient), turned them and finished them in a 200°C oven (middle rack, took another 10 minutes). I checked for doneness with a thermometer. I prefer this method because I don't want to put anything on the bottom of my oven. The meatballs came out great.
You can use one English cucumber or 2 seeded American cucumbers or 3 Persian cucumbers without the stems or 5 Malaysian timun’s shaved or 8 Nepal brinjals via yak
hey team! there are several quick cuts/edits when Molly is adding ingredients. any chance we could get the whole clip next time? that way we can see how much of something she is adding (if there is an absence of firm measurements). otherwise kudos!
I would like to try the meatballs though it looks like way too much herbage in with the meat. As for the salsa, no tomatoes? Very strange. I think that salsa along with the meatballs might be way too much greenery, period. Still, can't know until I try it.
“Salsa” translates as “sauce” in English and doesn’t necessarily mean there’s going to be tomatoes (in reference to Mexican cuisine). But Molly points out the salsa is more akin to chimichurri (fresh green herbs and olive oil).
I made this last night and it was really good but I will leave out the cinnamon next time. For some reason it stood out like a sore thumb and not in a good way. Oh, and please list the ingredients by part of the dish and not category. It's much more practical if I don't want to make all of it (I think the rice and salsa would be great for a vegan meal, the meatballs not so much...)
With all those other flavors going on the cinnamon would be deep background. The "je ne sais quoi" of the dish. I think of, like, a little nutmeg in the mornay sauce.
@@jcpensve I'm aware. If mint was used in place of dill and preserved lemons in place of dill cucumber pickles I could imagine the cinnamon working. I haven't tasted this though. Maybe it's great.
Agreed. I made it with the cinnamon, even a smaller amount than stated in the recipe and it still was very noticeable. Not in a good way, though. As much as I love cinnamon I will leave it out next time. Other than that, fantastic recipe!

Most geniuses are crazy, so Molly is the most genius. Always has awesome recipes.
This recipe feels like me too and the pickle rice is a revelation..thank you Molly B! I can't wait to try this!

Not sure about this flavor combo but I do like tzatziki on herbed meat so I'll give it a try. Thanks for getting me to try things outside of my box.
There’s nothing out of the box about this flavor combo bud

The amount of innuendo in this video is unreal and Molly innocent make it even more funny
One of only few TH-cam dishes I tried to cook and it was fantastic and so so fresh!
I made this recipe this past week, and it was delicious!

Happy they fixed the audio problem, looking good!!!
Making this now-so excited! Not sure if I’m missing it somewhere, but I don’t see cook time or oven temp for the meatballs? Can’t wait to eat it!
I did 400 for 25-30 mins alternating between oven floor and racks to cook the meatball all the way through
@@emmacurrens1617 Nice! Sounds similar to what I did: 375 for 30 min on the oven floor, flipping half-way through. 🙌
I adore the pickled salsa! So addictive, so good.
Can confirm, every component of this dish tastes wonderful ❤
I have a pizza steel in my oven so I will try using that as the "bottom" of my oven to heat the baking sheet
Made this twice - its fire!
I have the same Miyabi knife. It’s really fun to use.
I just cooked this! Made it with a bunch of mint and lamb and it was delishhhhhhusssss!
Molly's smile is so infectious
It’s such a simple trick, but putting the baking sheet on the bottom of the oven blew my mind. Molly Baz coming thru with the fucking tips.

I've made this a few times. my mom LOVES it
this looks incredible and i will be making it ASAP
FINALLY! A YT cook who makes a ground meat mixture by making a panade first!
Not me running into a corner of an Irish Pub on the UES to watch a Molly vid and laughing at ball jokes alone in the corner… I promise I have friends!
I love everything about the salsa, rice and meatball combo. It’s genius! And I will make these. Thank you for the inspo!
Molly, I gotta say, I subbed the meat with sautéed blitzed up mushrooms (maitake, shiitake and king oyster), grated extra firm tofu and cannellini beans, and them balls turned out deeelicious!
So full of flavor 👏 well done ❤

When I read the title I thought it was going to be Molly or X in the recipe not that Molly was making it......
Wow that looks good. And fairly healthy.
If you look past the insane amount of sodium...ya this is fairly healthy...
@@reesiezanga5232 Unless you're old, sodium isn't much of an issue
Looks delicious- I'll be giving it a go vegetarian style using plant-based mince. The flavour combinations are top tier.
Plus, you've met your daily quota of telling the world you're a vegetarian.

Good to see Molly again. She and goofball (in a good way) Brad were my favitites on the "other" show. Cheers!
Making this tomorrow 🎉
Great recipe, thank you!
I am HERE for this! Gonna add fresh jalapeños to the salsa
Yay!
Pickled balls is a good name
Can’t wait to make this one! 😍

YUM
I wonder if Flula did the intro music for this. It kinda sounds like the ones he's done for Grace Helbig.
I love & appreciate this niche ass comment so much
Can you make a "Most Molly" series? How to live the "Most Molly" day, how to bake the "most Molly" cake... Sorry Ily....
Yas
Can you cook these in an air fryer/toaster oven?
Love this... gonna use 1/2 the amount of salt though.
I never knew I had a dream recipe until I watched this …
u should make that AI molly recipe and see what’s up
This video must break the record for the most ball jokes.
I am SO makin' these balls
That Strauss yogurt is so freaking good!
yummmmm

More Molly please. :)
Does shortening words really save that much time?
I’m pretty sure if you ask A.I. What Molly tastes like the actual answer is Cesar salad
Looks interesting. I wish the whole recipe were listed. I have the cookbook, but this isn't in it!
Its in the description
@@Romina07 I see ingredients, not a recipe
That looks so fucking delicious.
EVERYBODYS SO CREATIVE
How hot is the oven meant to be at?!
Cilantro stems all damn day!!!
can we all agree that molly is like evry1s annoying little sister who somehow makes up for it with an outlandish amount of charm
not enough charm for me
Nice meatballs
Spheres.
This recipe is nuts.
were they dry? the looked it.
Welp - it settled. Gettin’ after Molly’s BALLLLZ tonight

Molly! Your hands must be heat proof! You touched all the balls with your bare hands while flipping them! 😮😮😮

Omit the pickles and sub fenugreek for chili flakes and you have a really modern interpretation of a quintessentially Persian flavor profile…
Love a tough ball
i had to pause this video to make my girlfriend watch AC/DC's Big Balls music video.

Need hot chilli sauce side
When did “herbs” lose the “h”?
Since French.

Skeptical about the cinnamon
Kofta and many middle eastern cuisines use cinnamon in savory dishes. It´s not at all unusual.
With all those other flavors going on the cinnamon would be deep background. The "je ne sais quoi" of the dish. I think of, like, a little nutmeg in the mornay sauce.

but how did you not once say "Moll's balls"?!?
It's giving pickle Ottolenghi
i’m so upset that you said “moment” instead of “mome”
Baking sheet on the bottom?! Say whaaaat??!
Molly balls……..
Cook temp and time molly 😭
Ball Appétit
Did you copy this from Phil and Emma? They posted this exact same recipe in 2021
Molly, sis! The hypertension! 😮
Would love a vegetarian version of this recipe
i feel like you could totally make a falafel adjacent version of these in order to make it vegetarian
just use lamb
Oh this beauty would be amazing with white beans! Falafel ish….
Lol Molly’s constant use of the word “salsa”…
Air fryer and a food processor would have made this easier 😅
her poor husband... or maybe not?! we'll never know xD

Why is every modern, cool girl recipe constantly involving dill/herbs, pickle juice and salt...
Cause we love the herbs! 😂😂😂
@@HeatherinherKitchen I like herbs too but not every dish needs half a pound of dill in it.
The real answer is because Mediterranean food is "in" right now and involves a lot of herbs and acid
@@c.aparicio Ah ok, thank you!
because green is in

I watch a lot of cooking videos and this has the be the weirdest flavor combination I have ever seen. 😬
