Instructions
Step 1
Place the fresh lamb fillets and Lamb Fat in the freezer for about 45 minutes, until it gets really firm but not frozen solid; you should still be able to pierce it with the point of a sharp knife.
Step 2
Meanwhile, in a small mixing bowl, combine the garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, the 1/4 amount of kibbeh spices, salt and reserve in the fridge until serving.
Step 3
When your lamb meat has been in the freezer long enough, slice it thinly against the grain, then dice it as finely as you can until it has a coarse ground consistency, then place it in a mixing bowl. Dice the lamb fat and keep it aside for side serving.
Step 4
Add the shallots, pomegranate molasses, and 1/2 of the reserved dressing to the lamb meat and mix delicately until well combined.
Step 5
Prepare the platter for serving: * Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal servings and gently press it into ramekins, then flip over onto plates. * Garnish the meat with mint leaves, spring onion and a drizzle of pomegranate molasses, if desired. * Place a bunch of fresh mint and the crunchy white onion next to the platter. * Place the raw lamb fat next to the lamb meat in the platter, place the Kibbeh spices (Kammouneh), salt and allspice next to it. * Place each of the remaining 1/2 of the lemon garlic dressing and garlic paste in a small saucers aside and enjoy eating this delicious meal with Fresh warm Lebanese bread.
