02 - Shape the mixture into 1-inch meatballs and set aside on a plate.
03 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add meatballs in batches and cook, turning, until browned on all sides and cooked through, approximately 8–10 minutes total. Remove and keep warm.
04 - In a small saucepan, combine pomegranate juice, honey, balsamic vinegar, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and simmer until reduced by half, approximately 8–10 minutes.
05 - Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook, whisking, until the glaze thickens, about 1–2 minutes. Remove from heat.
06 - Add the cooked meatballs to the pan with the glaze, tossing gently to coat evenly.
07 - Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with pomegranate seeds and chopped parsley.
