roast lamb invariably results in leftovers, which can easily be turned into quick and delicious packed lunches or suppers.
this pilaf was very simple to pull together – leftover lamb was mixed with basmati rice, roasted aubergine, chickpeas, a glug of pomegranate molasses (this has an intense sour flavour – you could use tamarind paste or lemon juice in its place) plus lots of chopped mint and flat-leaf parsley.
