Tips: Pastirma is a wonderful Turkish deli meat made of air-dried beef. You may substitute any other type of dried beef.Pomegranate molasses is a highly valued ingredient in Middle Eastern cooking. It is made by reducing a mixture of pomegranate juice, lemon juice and sugar until it becomes syrupy. You may substitute with a balsamic reduction to which you have added a few drops of freshly squeezed lemon juice.
