Serves 2

4/6 cutlets, well trimmed

1 tablespoon pomegranate molasses

Salt and black pepper

Baba Ghanoush

1 Aubergine

1 tablespoon tahini

2 cloves garlic, chopped

1 tablespoon olive oil

juice of ½ lemon

1 tablespoon chopped mint

salt and black pepper

1 pomegranate, deseeded

Place the cutlets in a dish and coat with the pomegranate molasses and season well, Set aside.

To prepare the Baba Ghanoush, place the aubergine on a gas flame or on a hot grill pan, allow it to char really well on all sides, this will give the Baba Ghanoush a good smoky flavour, when the aubergine is charred and soft, it will take about 6/7 minutes, remove from the heat and allow it to cool enough to handle, then remove the skin and roughly chop the flesh into a bowl, stir in the tahini, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice,mint and seasoning. Mix well. Stir in half the pomegranate seeds, Set aside.

Cook the cutlets on a hot grill pan or barbecue for 3/4 minutes each side, serve with the Baba Ghanoush, garnish with remaining pomegranate seeds and a sprig of mint.
