Method

  1. Mix the lamb, pomegranate molasses, garlic and cumin in a bowl. Cover and set aside to marinate for a few minutes.
  2. Put the carrots and a pinch of salt in a pan and cover with water. Bring to the boil and simmer for 10 minutes, until tender. Drain and put in a processor with the tahini, honey and parsley. Whizz to a purée and season.
  3. Heat a frying or griddle pan over a medium heat. Season the lamb cutlets and cook for 1-2 minutes each side.
  4. Put the lamb cutlets on a platter, top with a little carrot purée, a sprig of parsley and a sprinkling of pomegranate seeds.
