This is one of my favorite weeknight dinners because it comes together in just twenty minutes flat. The pomegranate molasses creates this gorgeous sticky glaze on tender lamb steaks while the bulgur salad brings everything into balance with fresh dates, kale, and pomegranate seeds. What I love most is that pomegranate is packed with antioxidants, so you're getting something genuinely nourishing alongside all those incredible flavors. The beauty of this dish is how simple it actually is to pull off, yet it feels special enough for company. Give it a try and I promise you'll be making it again and again.

Ultimate roast potatoes
After years of experimenting, I've finally cracked the code for roast potatoes that are impossibly crispy on the outside and fluffy within. The secret is using duck fat, which contains oleic acid, a heart healthy monounsaturated fat that's actually good for you. What I love most is how simple this really is: just potatoes, fat, flour, and salt. From prep to plate in just over an hour, you'll have restaurant quality results without any fuss.
