Harissa Spiced Sticky Lamb Belly, Whipped Feta, Pomegranate, Almond by Lisa Goodwin-Allen

Try our succulent lamb belly recipe, where Michelin-star Chef Lisa Goodwin-Allen uses harissa and our brand-new Kalahari Desert Salt to make a beautifully sticky sauce.

Lisa pairs the dish with a deliciously creamy whipped feta cheese, which is then topped with pomegranate for pockets of sweetness and toasted almond flakes for an irresistible crunch.

We recommend making Lisa’s Honey Glazed Peach for dessert to finish off a very flavourful dinner party for your guests. The peach is accompanied with sheep’s milk ice cream and salted using our Maldon Sea Salt flakes. It’s topped with a honeycomb tuile for that added layer of sweetness.
