A pomegranate is a true gem of the fruit world. Its a true winter season option which will definitely glam up your fridge, especially when the whole world goes red in the run up to the holiday season. It is a pity that we sometimes stuck when choosing the ways to use pomegranate in cooking ending up eating it raw as a dessert. However its sweet unique taste and stylish seeds offer a broad range of use in recipes.
- Bring colour and taste to your salads
- Try it in dips
- Make your morning oats colourful
- Enjoy it in drinks
- Add sweetness to your mains
Here are some options.
Try a spinach-avocado salad with walnuts and pomegranate and lemon juice dressing. Why won’t you add a handful of jewellery-like seeds to your morning oats or bulgur to bright up a dark morning? Add seeds and juice to hummus or guacamole dip to bring Christmas mood to your table. Pomegranate is absolutely beautiful in pilaff, with roasted vegetables, as a glaring for roasted chicken, or as a sauce for fish. Finally, explore the beauty of sweet taste and red colour in hot or cold drinks such as mint-pomegranate tea, pomegranate-ginger-lime water or mulled pomegranate winter drink.
