Lamb is a bit of a treat for us. This managers offer made our lump of shoulder just about affordable at a little short of £4. The same sized piece is over £13 today! So Lamb calls for something a bit special, by way of a recipe…..
Ingredients:-
500g of Lamb Shoulder
100ml of Pomegranate Molasses
100ml of Water
2 Onions, thickly sliced
3 Cloves of Garlic, finely sliced
Salt & Pepper to season
Method:-
(1) Cut slits in the Lamb and insert some of the sliced Garlic.
(2) Pour over 50ml of the Pomegranate Molasses and allow to marinade in the fridge for 2 hours.
(3) Place the Onions and remaining Garlic in an oven proof dish and pre-heat the oven to 150c.
(4) Sit the Lamb on top.
(5) Season with Salt & Pepper and pour over the remaining Pomegranate Molasses, rubbing it into the Lamb.
(6) Add the Water and cover.
(7) Cook for 2 ½ hours.
(8) Remove the Lamb and set aside.
(9) Skim the fat from the surface and add the juices to a large pan.
(10) Allow to simmer and then return the Lamb.
(11) Add more Pomegranate Molasses to taste.
(12) Simmer until the sauce thickens.
(13) Remove and shred the Lamb, removing the bones.
(14) Return the meat to the sauce and stir well.
We served ours with Mint & Pomegranate Rice, a Pomegranate and Mayonnaise dressing, over Sour Dough Crostini.

We would like to thank everybody who has bought our recipe Ebook and donated this week. We've had a amazing response, especially as we are only using Facebook to promote it at present (It's free so doesn't take from the proceeds for the charities). Next wee I'm to be interviewed by YO1 Radio which I hope will get the word out so we can help the Charities and Groups helping the Homeless and these in need even more.
Meals on a very restricted budget don't need to be boring!
We've created this Ebook in support of the following local Charities and Groups:-
The Salvation Army
Church Action on Poverty
Doncaster Street Hub
York Secret Helpers
Sleep Safe Selby
OR A Charity of your choosing
“In January 2018 we found ourselves in a Homeless Hostel and some six months later had to resort to living in a tent in order to save our much loved dog Buster from any further separation. On a budget of £4 a day to feed ourselves and Buster via Universal Credit, we spent much of our time sourcing ingredients and fresh water just to survive. Probably to keep ourselves sane we kept a record of our recipes. Many of the recipes in the book were created and cooked beside our tent on a single burner camp stove. We were fortunate to be helped by several charities and now have a flat in York. The remainder of these recipes have been created and cooked here on the same very limited budget.”
This is our way of giving something back to the charities who helped us and are continuing to help the homeless and those in need. We hope you find them inspiring and more to the point tasty and frugal.
The Ebook costs £4 with all proceeds going directly to your chosen charity or cause.
