Middle Eastern Inspired Sticky Beef
with Pomegranate Molasses, Tabbouleh, Parsley and Yoghurt
Here, the Middle Eastern inspired flavour comes from chermoula and pomegranate molasses. Made from reduced pomegranate juice, pomegranate molasses is a deliciously sticky condiment, adding richness that's offset by the herby and fresh tabbouleh.

Due to the war in Ukraine, it has been necessary to substitute sunflower oil with rapeseed oil in some products without a label change. The FSA have advised that allergic reactions to rapeseed oil are rare.
