Pomegranate Molasses
Pomegranate Molasses is an excellent seasoning for both salads and hot dishes, offering its own unique sweet and sour taste. It is also used as a natural and savoury condiment on meat and chicken.
Pomegranate Molasses is used quite widely in a variety of dishes, for example to deglaze fried chicken liver and other meat dishes before serving. (To deglaze you add the pomegranate molasses at the last minute and stir it into the rest of the ingredients as you turn up, then turn off, the heat on the dish. The pomegranate takes in the flavours and acts like a sauce.)
This product is also excellent with fried egg and sumac (dilute 1 table spoon pomegranate with 2 table spoons water and salt) where it is poured on the nearly-cooked eggs.
Pomegranate Molasses is also used as a ingredient in salad dressing with oil and vinegar/lemon.
It is mixed with crushed garlic, olive oil and a bit of salt to form a sauce for fried aubergines, cauliflower as well as other fried vegetable dishes. It makes an excellent sweet-sour alternative to soya sauce.
