Chilli Cumin Lamb
Fried minced lamb with a little garlic and a lot of spices. And tossed in some pomegranate molasses was the final magical flourish. Serve this tasty lamb dish as part of a mezze style spread. It works well with hummus, caramelised onions, a green salad, arabic breads and a few chips.
