Preparation Instructions:
- Step 1
- To make the Lemon Labneh: place yogurt, lemon zest and 1 tsp. salt in a medium bowl and mix well to combine. Place in a large, cheesecloth-lined strainer over a bowl to catch the liquid. Cover and refrigerate. Allow to drain overnight. Discard drained liquid and transfer yogurt to an airtight container. Keep refrigerated.
- Step 2
- Preheat oven to 300˚F.
- Step 3
- Rub lamb shoulder with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place in roasting pan. Add beef broth and cover with aluminum foil. Roast in at 300°F for 2 hours or until lamb pulls apart easily. Remove from oven and let rest until cool enough to handle. Shred lamb and return to pan with juices. Hold warm for service.
- Step 4
- Prepare riced cauliflower and sweet potatoes according to package instructions. Hold warm for service.
- Step 5
- For each serving; combine 3/4 cup riced cauliflower and 1/2 oz. crispy onions and place on a serving dish. On top, arrange 3 oz. pulled lamb, 4 oz. sweet potatoes, 3 oz. labneh, and 2 fl. oz. Harissa sauce. Garnish with 1 oz. pomegranate seeds and 1 Tbsp. mint.
