  Made this with standard molasses as could not find pomegranate molasses. The meat fell off the bone and tasted amazing.

  Wasn't bad, used normal molasses as couldn't find pomegranate molasses. Meat was quite tender, but not as flavoursome as I had hoped.

  Lovely lovely! Made with the jewelled cous cous. The meat was falling off the bone. Very subtle but beautiful flavours. Will definitely make again.

  I made this using three small cuts of lamb shoulder. I left out the cumin as I had ran out and placed the lamb on a bed of potatoes as opposed to onions. Put it in at lunchtime, went back to work and came home to a delicious aroma. I actually let the lamb rest and then cut it into cubes and made a pitta bread sandwich with salad and houmous. Very nice indeed.

  I found a recipe for pomegranate molasses. Take 2 or 3 pomegranates and squeeze the juice out of them. Boil until all the water evaporates and it becomes a thick substance. Just made it today with 3 pomegranates and it works!

  Made this and doubled the sauce ingredients. Was so impressed with how easy this was and delicious that when there was a special on lamb shoulders I bought a couple and put them in the freezer so we could have this again. Also ate left overs in pitta bread, but had to fight the children for them!

  Didn't have molasses so used honey instead - the flavours were absolutely wonderful and the lamb was just perfectly tender, definitely a recipe to keep!

  Quite possibly the best lamb dish I have ever tasted. The jeweled cous cous is also worth trying.

  delicious, tender, sweet lamb. Was great laid out on a platter in middle of table for sharing and dinning bread in the juices! Will definitely make this again!

  You can get the pomegranate molasses from Harrods (they will deliver but are quite expensive) or, if you live in London, from Partidge's on the King's Road (£3 less than the in-store Harrods price).
