    Clean, wash and pat dry the spring onions. Cut each onion into 2 or 3 pieces depending on its length. Cut the pomegranate in half. Squeeze one half on a citrus press. Halve the other half and remove the seeds from the white parting skins. Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut into pieces and cook in boiling salted water for about 20 minutes

    Wash the thyme, dab dry, put some aside for garnishing, remove the remaining leaves. Heat frying fat in a pan. Deglaze with 150 ml of water and boil the frying set until it is completely dry. Add pomegranate juice and thyme. Bring to the boil and gradually fold in ice-cold butter until the sauce has thickened slightly. Season sauce to taste with salt, pepper and cumin, stir in pomegranate seeds

    Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large frying pan. Brown the spring onions in it, season with salt and pepper. Drain the potatoes and let them evaporate briefly. Add milk and tahin and mash everything to a pulp. Season to taste with salt. Roast sesame seeds in a small pan, add 25 g butter and let it melt. Cut the meat into slices.
