- Sandwich the meatballs between your loquat halves in the same way and alternate them with red and green peppers.
- You can drizzle nar ekşisi (pomegranate molasses) over the top as they cook.
- If you can't get loquat fruit, you can experiment with other fruits such as apricot or chunks of peach and nectarine.
- Water your pomegranate molasses down a little if you have the syrup style sauce.
