Are you mystified by what to do with a pomegranate? Now POM Wonderful, the same folks who sell pomegranate juice in hourglass-shaped bottles are now selling packs that just include the arils (the little seeds you eat). POM Wonderful has gone a long way toward making pomegranate juice more popular but the arils might be a bit trickier. The Chicago Sun-Times reports that an eight ounce plastic container will retail for $5.99. I've never thought of the pomegranate as a particularly difficult fruit to figure out although they do stain the fingers a bit. What's more challenging is finding stuff to do with them. I often sprinkle them on top of salads and they are also good in pilafs.My favorite pomegranate-related food, however, uses something Nick mentioned recently, pomegranate molasses. Muhammara is a dip that includes, among other things, breadcrumbs, walnuts, red peppers and pomegranate molasses. Oh how I miss Eastern Lamejun Bakers back in Belmont, Massachusetts where I used to get my fix of muhammara, stuffed grape leaves and fresh pita. Luckily I now live very near several Armenian specialty stores in Los Angeles.
