Yield: 2 servings
Ingredients: 250 g ground lamb (or half lamb, half beef); 3 phyllo sheets (about 45 g total); 45 ml clarified butter, melted; 80 g shelled walnuts, roughly chopped; 1 medium onion, finely minced; 3 cloves garlic, minced; ¼ cup fresh cilantro, minced; ¼ cup fresh mint, minced; 1 tbsp ground cumin; ½ tsp ground cinnamon; ¼ tsp ground allspice; Pinch of cayenne pepper; 90 ml pomegranate molasses; 30 ml honey; 120 g labneh (strained yogurt); 1 tbsp rose water (optional, for labneh); Sea salt, black pepper; Pomegranate arils for garnish; Fleur de sel for finishing

Delicate phyllo cups, crisped until shatteringly golden, cradle a filling of lamb kofta spiced with cumin, cinnamon, and allspice. Atop: tart pomegranate gastrique, a cloud of whipped cultured yogurt, a scatter of walnuts charred until bittersweet, and pomegranate arils that burst with juice. Each tartlet is a study in textural contrast and Middle Eastern spice.
