Total time: 20-29 minutes + martinating

Serves: 4

Ingredients

8 lamb cutlets
6 tbsp olive oil
5 tsp aged sherry vinegar
1 tbsp zaatar
2 cloves garlic, crushed
125g pack pomegranate seeds
75g walnuts, toasted and roughly chopped
2 tsp pomegranate molasses
½ x 25g pack flat leaf parsley, finely chopped
½ x 25g mint, leaves only, finely chopped
½ x 25g pack basil, finely chopped
2½ tbsp tahini
1 tbsp lemon juice

Method

1. Place the lamb into a large shallow dish with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 teaspoons sherry vinegar, zaatar and the garlic. Cover, chill and leave to marinate for at least 30 minutes or for up to 2 hours.
