Ingredients

•    1 pack puff pastry, large squares
•    400g boneless lamb leg, roughly ground
•    1 small onion, roughly chopped
•    3 tbsp labneh (strained yogurt)
•    1 large tomato, diced

1.    Preheat oven to 180C/350F.
2.    In a bowl combine meat, onion, labneh, tomato, pine nuts, pomegranate molasses and spices.

4.    Transfer the pies to a lightly greased baking sheet and bake 20-25 minutes until the meat is cooked through and the pastry golden brown.
5.    Serve with yogurt (or ayran, a cold yogurt beverage mixed with salt) and drizzle more pomegranate molasses on top if desired.
