Ingredients

  • 120g soft goat’s cheese
  • 1/3 cup (80g) sour cream
  • 1/4 cup mint leaves, plus extra to serve
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 250g lamb backstrap, trimmed
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 250g chargrilled eggplant slices, cut into strips

  • Roughly chopped pistachios, to serve

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (390°F). Line two baking trays with parchment paper.
  2. Mix goat’s cheese, sour cream, mint, and lemon juice in a bowl until smooth. Season and set aside.
  3. Rub lamb with Dijon mustard, season, and sear in olive oil for 2–3 minutes per side over medium heat. Rest for 5 minutes, then thinly slice.

  5. Scatter sliced lamb on top and return to oven for 2 more minutes to warm through.
  6. Garnish with sliced chilli, chopped pistachios, extra mint, and a drizzle of pomegranate molasses. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use leftover roast lamb or beef for convenience.
  • Substitute flatbread or thin pizza crust if Lebanese bread is unavailable.
  • Swap goat’s cheese for feta for a sharper taste.
  • Add arugula on top after baking for freshness.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge and reheat in oven; avoid microwave.
