Pulled Pomegranate & Mint Lamb
Roast lamb doesn’t get much better than when it’s slowly cooked, allowing it to become beautifully tender and fall off the bone. Couple this with sweet bursts of pomegranate and you have perfection. Be excited… be very excited.

- Serve lamb with a big bowl of barbecued or steamed summer vegetables including baby potatoes.
- To remove seeds from a pomegranate – roll fruit to loosen seeds, then cut in 1/2 horizontally. Hold 1/2 over a bowl, seeds facing down and tap skin firmly with the back of a spoon, squeezing gently to release seeds.
- New Zealand Quality Mark lamb is grass-fed, which means it has a dose of omega 3, important for heart health.
- Use a non-metallic roasting dish as this prevents the acid in the dish from reacting with the metal
- If using a slow cooker, use the same amount of liquid and cook on low for 6-8 hours

I have made this twice now and it gets rave reviews from dinner guests. It also makes a leg of lamb go a long way.

This was SO easy and so delicious. Reheated easily too, I shredded the meat and wrapped it in tinfoil drizzled with the jus and reheated in the oven and it was still divine. The pomegranate seeds and mint on top really elevated this dish to something very special.

Glaze
Mix all ingredients together in a small bowl.Lamb
Place the onion in the base of a non-metallic or enamel roasting dish and sit lamb on top. Pour glaze over the lamb then pour 200ml water around the lamb. Cover and place in the oven to slow-cook for 31/2 hours. Remove cover and continue cooking lamb for a further 30 minutes until the meat is almost falling off the bone.To serve
Place lamb on a warm serving platter and cover loosely with foil and a clean tea towel. Strain cooking juices into a saucepan and skim away any fat with a large spoon. Boil to reduce the sauce, then whisk in the thickening paste.Cook until the sauce is syrupy and taste for seasoning. If tart, add salt to balance flavour, then pour into a sauce jug. Remove cover from lamb and scatter over pomegranate seeds and fresh mint.
