Method

1. 1 Grind the lamb twice with onions and parsley, then season with baharat; the mixture should be smooth enough to spread into a flat layer.
2. 2 Spread the meat in a 1.5 cm thick layer to cover the bottom of the baking tray, do not roll it into balls.
3. 3 Arrange the potato and tomato slices alternately, standing at an angle in rows and sticking them into the layer of meat.
4. 4 Mix tomato sauce with pomegranate syrup, olive oil, and 120 ml of water, then pour it around the tray.
5. 5 Bake at 200 degrees for 45 minutes, brushing the potatoes with sauce twice to prevent them from drying out.

With an appliance

• Air fryer 55 min

  Replace step 5: lightly spray oil around the patty, use a steam cooker at 215 degrees for 29 minutes, rotating the tray at minute 14. The strong airflow shortens the time by about one-third compared to an oven and sears the surface faster.
