Method

  1. Mix together the pomegranate molasses, lemon juice, olive oil and chilli powder, then toss the cutlets in it. Cover and leave in a cool place for 2-3 hrs.
  2. When you are ready, heat the grill to high. Lift the cutlets out of the marinade and scrape what is left into a bowl. Mix the yogurt into the leftover marinade and add 1 tsp salt. Brush some of the mix over the cutlets on both sides and place on the grill tray - make sure it's about 5cm below the grill. Cook for 2-3 mins each side, brushing with additional yogurt mix when turning. The cutlets should be browned and just beginning to scorch. Serve with lemon wedges.

Lamb cutlets

They are expensive cuts, but the most delicious and tender. If you want to cut the cost, use leg steaks or lamb chops.

    Hia Jane If you type in the asian cookshop you will come across a website that sells this. Just type in pomegranate mollsses in the search bar on the site, you will find this on the left handside near the top, its a yellow box. It costs £3.99 of course there will be postage i think it was £4 something. x

    I couldn't find pomegranate molasses either and my lamb was due to go off, so I thought I would soak it in pomegranate juice instead... I have then mixed a bit of the juice with the youghurt and lemon juice and brushed the steaks with it before grilling. I'm sure it would have been totally different had I used the real thing, but it still gave a nice subtle flavour and the meat stayed very moist.

    I chose this recipe to use up some pomegranate molasses (Sainsburys sell 300 ml bottles). The lamb was delicious. It was tangy in a good way. I served it with broccoli and couscous. The husband, who is not keen on lamb, devoured it all.
