Sadaf Pomegranate Paste ( Molasses ) - 10 fl oz/300 ml - Lebanon

Sadaf Pomegranate Molasses
Paste

This pomegranate paste is one of the Top 10 Pantry Ingredients noted in Yotem Ottolenghi's cookbook, SIMPLE.

Long a favorite ingredient in Middle Eastern and Persian cuisine, pomegranate molasses (or paste) is starting to be recognized more and more here for its versatility and the rich, distinct sweet-tart flavor flavors it brings to a wide range of dishes.

Sadaf pomegranate molasses is made from tart pomegranates with a little sugar added to balance the tartness. It is reduced to a thick, molasses-like consistency, and rather than the bright red of the fresh fruit, it's a dark, syrupy mahogany color, sometimes with a slightly grainy texture.

Suggestions for Pomegranate Paste Use

Traditionally, paste like this Sadaf pomegranate molasses appears more in savory dishes than sweet, adding a tangy, fruity note to dips, spreads and main dishes of all kinds.

It's a great addition to stir-frys, thickening the sauce and adding its own flavor notes. Sadaf pomegranate molasses makes beautiful salad dressing, particularly when combined with walnut oil.
