The pomegranate seeds are available in a plastic package at Trader Joe's and I freeze them, using only what I need each time.slfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04405972029307714164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323849547147404211.post-64984298608249756622016-02-19T20:04:05.686-05:002016-02-19T20:04:05.686-05:00Ah, welcome back, and what a way to make an entran...Ah, welcome back, and what a way to make an entrance with such an enticingly pretty salad. I've not heard of pomegranate molasses (who came up with that one?), but I do know that Ottolenghi is quite the food alchemist. <br /><br />Looking forward to trying this salad, but I agree, looks to be quite fiddly.Chronica Domushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06732224119040843337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323849547147404211.post-85483088383374587382016-02-19T13:05:00.299-05:002016-02-19T13:05:00.299-05:00You will get lots of oooohs and ahhhhhhs!!!

It was definitely meant-to-be. I too discovered the lovely little seeds in a small plastic container at Publix around Christmas time and snapped them right up. As you say, who would want to mess with getting the seeds out and chance spraying the juice all over yourself and the kitchen. Not me. I also happen to have an unused bottle of pomegranate molasses just waiting to be put to good use, so you have truly inspired me. Think I'll chop and stop, then start again until I get the job done, probably the only way I can stand that long. It's really good to have you back and what a grand and beautiful way to start off with this gorgeous salad. Take care.<br />SamSam Hoffer / My Carolina Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15358601435867848753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323849547147404211.post-75152350353878802502016-02-19T02:03:30.248-05:002016-02-19T02:03:30.248-05:00This dish looks too beautiful to be real.

I do have a thing against biting down on pomegranate seeds in a recipe, but I should try to get over this; after all I don't mind eating pumpkin-seed shells when well-roasted. <br /><br />For the dicing (especially those vegetables) I would definitely use a ceramic knife, which seems made specifically for this job. If you don't have any yet, I would make my first one a Kyocera--the most dependable brand.<br />--Jim<br />PS--I am glad you seem better right now, and also Happy Chinese New Year (Monkey)--the celebration period lasts until next week.Parnassushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08958901307538141468noreply@blogger.com
