Step 1
Stir yogurt with half the garlic and a pinch of salt. Spread on a shallow serving bowl.
Step 2
Heat 1 tbsp butter in a skillet over medium-high. Cook lamb, breaking it into small pieces, until no pink remains and edges crisp, 4–5 minutes.
Step 3
Toast pine nuts in a separate small skillet over medium heat, shaking often, until fragrant and light gold, 2–3 minutes. Set aside.
Step 4
Melt remaining 2 tbsp butter with the remaining garlic over medium heat. Cook until foaming and golden brown, about 1 minute.
Step 5
Spoon the crispy lamb over the yogurt base. Drizzle with brown butter, pomegranate molasses, and top with toasted pine nuts.
Step 6
Serve immediately while the lamb is still warm and the butter is fragrant.
