• 80g pomegranate molasses*

• 4 garlic cloves, coarsely chopped

• 2 cucharadas de aceite de oliva

• 1 tablespoon ground ginger

• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

• 2 teaspoons ground cumin, divided

• 1 1/2 cucharaditas de pimentón

• 1/2 cucharaditas de sal

• 1/4 teaspoons pepper

• 900g lamb shoulder blade chops, cut into 3/4-inch square pieces, bones reserved

• 300ml water, divided

• Caldo de pollo bajo en sal de 475 ml

• 1 275g box plain couscous

• 2 cucharadas (1/4 de barra) de mantequilla sin sal

• 3/4 cup pomegranate seeds

• 3 tablespoons torn basil leaves

Whisk pomegranate molasses, coarsely chopped garlic, olive oil, ground ginger, cinnamon, 1 3/4 teaspoons cumin, paprika, 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoons pepper in large bowl. Add lamb and toss to coat. Cover and marinate 2 hours at room temperature, or up to 2 days in the refrigerator. Drain, reserving marinade. Pat lamb dry.

Heat heavy large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, add meat and bones, if using, and cook until browned, turning occasionally, about 2 minutes total per batch. Return all lamb and bones to skillet. Add reserved marinade and 60ml water. Cover with lid slightly ajar and simmer over medium-low heat until meat is tender, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Meanwhile, bring remaining 240ml water and chicken broth to boil in medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add couscous and remaining 1/4 teaspoons cumin. Remove saucepan from heat and let stand covered 5 minutes. Fluff couscous with fork, then stir in butter until melted. Divide couscous among plates and top with lamb, pomegranate seeds, and basil leaves, spooning remaining sauce over lamb.
