Makanek (Lebanese Mini Sausages)

Do you love makanek? These Lebanese-style mini-sausages that are part of the mezze spread in every Lebanese restaurant, are sauteed with a bit of oil and cooked in their own juices, seasoned with lemon juice and finished with a generous drizzle of pomegranate molasses, providing the makanek with a thick, terrific brown gravy - a satisfying appetizer or meal served in a bowl accompanied with Lebanese bread. Learn to make them from scratch.
