The Most Molly Recipe Ever

MIYABI knife: www.zwilling.com/us/33951-240...
If Molly were a dish, this would be it. This recipe contains three of her very favorite things: meatballs, herbs, and dill pickles. The ingredients may be vast, but please do not let that deter you from making it!! Just make sure you have a nice sharp knife--we’ll be honing our knife skills on the large quantity of herbs which you’ll use in both the pickle salsa and meatballs. In the end, extra-large balls get plopped atop a steaming bowl of pickle rice and smothered in more salsa and salty yogurt sauce for serving. What can I say?? I like big balls and I CANNOT LIE! You can find the full recipe in her club www.mollybaz.com!

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!

[@LGG393]

thaaank you! you're doing god's work. what are the measurements for spices and meat and such??? ;)

[@LGG393]

nevermind! I see the description now whoops

[@temperatechimp]

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!

[@matthewvelge1196]

The amount of innuendo in this video is unreal and Molly innocent make it even more funny

[@LR-vs5de]

I love everything about the salsa, rice and meatball combo. It’s genius! And I will make these. Thank you for the inspo!

[@JK-pp2xl]

Most geniuses are crazy, so Molly is the most genius. Always has awesome recipes.

[@lillithanne9704]

This recipe feels like me too and the pickle rice is a revelation..thank you Molly B! I can't wait to try this!

[@emmacurrens1617]

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!

[@johnsoncalla]

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!!

[@downtonabbeyfreak]

I've made this a few times. my mom LOVES it

Happy they fixed the audio problem, looking good!!!

[@emilylang7927]

this looks incredible and i will be making it ASAP

[@erin_ly]

Can confirm, every component of this dish tastes wonderful ❤

[@quinnaddison420]

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.

[@andrew_yeah]

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.

[@everydayisfriday4885]

Great recipe, thank you!

So full of flavor 👏 well done ❤

[@user-ln9hl8fg6s]

I adore the pickled salsa! So addictive, so good.

[@MultiJellybones]

Molly's smile is so infectious

[@ladylauralaine]

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!

[@bernesto2468]

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

[@wcheavyarms]

I have the same Miyabi knife. It’s really fun to use.

[@crum4552]

Made this twice - its fire!

[@chewielewis4002]

When I read the title I thought it was going to be Molly or X in the recipe not that Molly was making it......

[@christopherspinzor3268]

I just cooked this! Made it with a bunch of mint and lamb and it was delishhhhhhusssss!

[@jonathantr4932]

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

[@xcessa]

Making this tomorrow 🎉

[@Secretsofsociety]

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.

[@shakerbaker11788]

There’s nothing out of the box about this flavor combo bud

[@Secretsofsociety]

@@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.

[@johnstuckaiii]

​@@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.

[@emmacurrens1617]

I did 400 for 25-30 mins alternating between oven floor and racks to cook the meatball all the way through

[@jc3drums916]

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)?

[@spinni81]

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.

[@christafralian3437]

Can you cook these in an air fryer/toaster oven?

[@kindablue1959]

I wonder if Flula did the intro music for this. It kinda sounds like the ones he's done for Grace Helbig.

[@ashlayydee04]

I love & appreciate this niche ass comment so much

[@issues3793]

I’m pretty sure if you ask A.I. What Molly tastes like the actual answer is Cesar salad

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!

[@TimToesWalters]

i had to pause this video to make my girlfriend watch AC/DC's Big Balls music video.

[@Debba521]

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.

[@wranglergrrl]

“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).

[@iamthgil]

Omit the pickles and sub fenugreek for chili flakes and you have a really modern interpretation of a quintessentially Persian flavor profile…

[@theuniverse7227]

I came from bon appetit

[@LOLCoolJ]

Skeptical about the cinnamon

[@jcpensve]

Kofta and many middle eastern cuisines use cinnamon in savory dishes. It´s not at all unusual.

[@AdmAckbarr]

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.

[@LOLCoolJ]

@@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.

[@spinni81]

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!

[@geodav5700]

Need hot chilli sauce side

[@davekorzinski9754]

#SaltyYogurtMoment

[@spinni81]

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...)
