Instructions
Homemade Pomegranate Molasses:
Notes
- If possible, make sure to buy American lamb, which has the best flavor.
- Pomegranate Molasses is available in the ethnic aisle of most grocery stores. It’s made out of pure Pomegranate juice, some sugar and lemon juice. These ingredients are boiled and reduced to a consistency of a syrup. I included my favorite recipe for homemade pomegranate molasses.
- By placing the lamb shanks on a bed of vegetables, the meat won't stick to the bottom of the dish. At the same time, the meat will get infused with the flavor of garlic and onions.
