You can turn out a variety of delicious variations with a few added ingredients such as courgettes, aubergines, or peas. Prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, pomegranate molasses, olive oil, tomato paste, and pepper paste until smooth. Add in salt, red pepper flakes (pul biber or Aleppo pepper), sumac, and dried mint.

Slice the white and light green parts of the leeks, and wash them thoroughly with plenty of water, then drain them on a colander. Bazlama (Turkish Flatbread), Guyanese Oil Roti, or Turkish Pide Bread (Ramazan Pidesi) are also great for mopping up the juices. We like to make our homemade ketchup version because of its versatility. And because it lasts a while in the fridge so you can make a generous batch all at once.
