Pomegranate molasses is a Middle Eastern specialty famous for its sweet-tart flavour. Pomegranate molasses nicely complements the Greek yogurt and fresh mint to make a delicious, easy weeknight sauce. You can use a mixture of half honey and half lemon juice as a substitute if you like. Use any leftover pomegranate molasses for chicken, salad dressings, and lamb. For a quick salad to serve with the kebabs, mix cucumber, red onion, and mint and toss with a little lemon juice.
