For a special treat, these cutlets are so delicious.
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.
