I made this for Hubby and Little Miss (DD) tonight and they really enjoyed this recipe. I had to substitute the pomegranate molasses because I couldn't find it in the shops so I juiced two fresh pomegranates’ and mixed it with lemon and sugar, I then put it on heat until it reduced. I had to leave out green capsicum because I didn't have any one hand. It was all so easy to make and really quick for a dinner that looked like a lot of work. Thank you Aus/NZ chefs
