1. You need to buy pomegranate juice or a whole fresh pomegranate. Rinse the meat under running water. Carefully remove all membranes and fat. Pat dry with a towel. Cut into small pieces. If you are using a fresh pomegranate for the dish, separate it into seeds. Take a separate container and a small sieve. Rub the seeds through the sieve to extract the juice.
