Lycopene in tomatoes and beta-carotene in pumpkin and pomegranate juice act against free radicals and thus prevent the formation of harmful substances that can be produced during grilling.

Fancy an oriental touch? Then prepare the salad with orange juice, 1 grated carrot, some cinnamon and 2 tablespoons of raisins!

Preparation

Preparation steps

1.

Mix tomato paste in a bowl with 3 tablespoons oil, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, pepper to taste and 5 tablespoons of water.

2.

Rinse lamb meat, pat dry and cut into 2 cm (approximately 3/4-inch) cubes. Place in a shallow dish and drizzle with half the oil and vinegar mixture.

3.

Soak bulgur in another bowl with 150 ml (approximately 1/2 cup) of boiling water. Season with salt, add 150 ml (approximately 1/2 cup) of pomegranate juice and allow to steep.

4.

Meanwhile, line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Rinse and dry pumpkin, cut into wedges, remove seeds and place on the baking sheet.

5.

Sprinkle pumpkin with the remaining oil and vinegar mixture and bake in preheated oven at 200°C (fan 180°C, gas: mark 3)(approximately 400°F) until tender, about 7 minutes on each side. Remove and let cool. Meanwhile, rinse rosemary sprigs and shake dry. Cut each with kitchen shears into 4 pieces.

6.

Thread rosemary with pumpkin and lamb on 6 skewers, cutting pumpkin in half if necessary for fit. Cook under preheated broiler for about 15 minutes, turning once, watching carefully.

7.

Meanwhile, rinse scallion, shake dry and cut into thin rings.

8.

Rinse spinach, spin dry and remove coarse stems.

9.

Mix remaining pomegranate juice with oil, then season with salt and pepper. Mix with spinach and scallion into the bulgur and serve with the skewers.
