8 ounces baby spinach
2 ripe tomatoes, cut into chunks
½ cup crumbled feta
4 dried figs, sliced
¼ cup pomegranate arils
For the marinade:
1 tablespoon za'atar
2 tablespoons pomegranate molasses
¼ cup olive oil
Salt and pepper

Method
Marinate the lamb in 1 tablespoon za’atar, ¼ cup oil, 2 tablespoons pomegranate molasses, and salt and pepper to taste.
Heat a skillet on medium-high heat, add some oil, and sear to rare or medium-rare. Depending on desired doneness, roast in the oven to finish.
Make a vinaigrette with the remaining olive oil, molasses, and red wine vinegar. Season to taste with za’atar, salt, and pepper.
