Notes
* If you're roasting your own red peppers - Roast the peppers for 30 mins at 240°C fan until the skins have blackened. Set them aside to cool. Once they're cool enough to handle, peel off the blackened skins and remove the seeds.
** Pomegranate molasses is available in the UK (at the time of writing) in Waitrose and is well worth using if you can get hold of it. If you can't, substitute with lemon juice.
