Serving Suggestion

  • Pomegranate seeds and unsweetened molasses

Preparing the Quinces

  • Peel and halve the quinces. Remove the cores and tough center parts to form a bowl shape. To prevent browning, soak them in lemon water while preparing the filling.

  • Set aside about 2 tablespoons of the scooped-out quince flesh.

Filling

  • Combine the ground beef with all filling ingredients and mix well.

Cooking Sauce

  • Lightly sauté the chopped onion and garlic in olive oil. Add the grated tomato, tomato paste, and reserved quince pieces.

  • Season with salt and add the cinnamon stick.

  • Add enough water to slightly cover the quinces.

  • Place the halved, filled quinces into the pot.

  • Cook over high heat for 5 minutes, then lower the heat and simmer until the quinces are tender.

To Serve

  • Garnish with chopped parsley and pomegranate seeds, and drizzle with unsweetened molasses.
