  1. Combine lamb, bread crumbs, scallions, mint, advieh, dill, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add beaten eggs; knead by hand until smooth and sticky. Cover and refrigerate until flavors blend, at least 30 minutes.
  2. Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
  3. Form the lamb mixture into 1-inch balls. Arrange on a rimmed baking sheet. Mist the tops with cooking spray.
  4. Broil in the preheated oven for 5 minutes. Rotate the baking sheet and broil for 3 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 140 degrees F (60 degrees C).
  5. Brush the meatballs with pomegranate molasses as soon as they come out of the oven.

Loved these. Making the advieh (looked online on how to) was easy, especially because I had dried rose petals hanging on my rose bushes in my yard (because I'm not very good at tending to them)...
