Nar Eksili Sos (Turkish Pomegranate Molasses Dressing) - kvalifood.com
A simple Turkish dressing of olive oil, pomegranate molasses, and lemon juice. Used on salads, grilled vegetables, halloumi, and bulgur dishes. At its simplest, it is just olive oil and pomegranate molasses whisked together.
Makes ca. 150 ml (2-3 servings)
Ingredients
- 60 ml extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tbsp pomegranate molasses (nar eksisi)
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 tsp sumac
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 small garlic clove, finely minced (optional)
- 1 pinch dried mint (optional)
Directions
Combine olive oil, pomegranate molasses, and lemon juice in a small jar or bowl. Add sumac and salt. If using garlic and dried mint, add them now.
Whisk vigorously or seal the jar and shake until emulsified and slightly thickened.
Taste and adjust. Use immediately or store in a sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to one month.
Notes
Good pomegranate molasses should taste tart with subtle sweetness. If yours is very sweet, add a splash of red wine vinegar to correct.
Also works as a marinade base for chicken or lamb – double the garlic and add a pinch of pul biber.
