Method

Step 1

Mix yogurt, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning as needed. Refrigerate until serving.

Step 2

Rinse lentils and place in a pot with water, garlic cloves, parsley stem, and carrot. Simmer for 18–20 minutes until al dente. Drain and discard parsley and carrot. Set garlic aside. While warm, dress lentils with olive oil, sesame oil, vinegar, soy sauce, salt, and pepper. Let cool.

Step 3

Let lamb filets sit at room temperature for 10 minutes. Rub with oil, season with salt and pepper, and grill or pan-sear over medium-high heat for 3–4 minutes per side (medium-rare). Rest for 5 minutes under foil.

Step 4

Grill or toast flatbreads until lightly charred on both sides.

Step 5

Squeeze the roasted garlic into a bowl and whisk with mustard, molasses, honey, olive oil, and vinegar. Season to taste.

Step 6

Toss lentils with greens, mint, parsley, and red onion. Arrange on plates, sprinkle with pomegranate arils.

Step 7

Slice lamb across the grain and place on top of the salad. Drizzle with vinaigrette. Garnish yogurt with sumac and olive oil. Serve with warm flatbread.
