Amazing! The flavors meld better than you may think. The veg, friut and herbs taste so fresh, then the prosciutto adds such richness and depth. I wasn’t sure when chopping the mint, and was concerned about adding so much fennel, but the flavor was not too strong – proportions are perfect! I made one large salad for a pot-luck, rather than dress individual plates. A bit expensive for a salad, but good around this time of year and great color!

The flatbreads – pomegranate in Middle Eastern food is generally excellent. As is Nigel Slater.

In answer to your question about what to do with pomegranates–make Georgian food and garnish away! The vegetable pate appetizers (pkhali) are especially delicious with pomegranate seeds.

I’m in grad school and brought this to a dinner at a professor’s house. It was a huge success. Very sophisticated and delicious, but still simple. And its just gorgeous.

tried this tonight for dinner w/ a bit of local crusty bread from an amazing bakery (not my kitchen!) and loved it. The hubs and I enjoyed this as a different, no cooking thursday night dinner. ;) I can see a heaping bit of this with a piece of prosciutto on top (to hold things together) on a thin grilled slice of french bread as a yummy app.

So strange. I also made a pomegranade salad with arugula. I used fennel seeds instead of fennel. I just added things together and it turned out very good. And now I see a similar recipe. Next time I add fennel and prosciutto.

This reminds me of Jamie Oliver’s sexy salad recipe.

Made this tonight – yum. Added celery and had to use strawberries in place of the pomegranates because we couldn’t find them, but it was really good! We also sauteed the prosciutto for some extra crunch. Will definitely make again and can’t wait to try it with pom seeds!
