Whole Spice-crusted Lamb Brochette with Pomegranate Subduction Reduction
Yield: 4 entrée or 8 to 12 appetizer portions
The beauty of this dish is the way the raw spices on the outside of the lamb bloom and caramelize as they are cooked over a hot grill. The sweet and spicy red wine and pomegranate sauce makes it a gorgeous and elegant presentation!
