The CookingBites Recipe Challenge: Pomegranate

[flyinglentris]

Not sure why you mentioned me in your post? I'm not a fan of pomegranate and have never cut one open to remove the seeds. Like Richard Boone said to John Wayne, when offer a canned peach in the movie "Big Jake", "No thanks they hurt my teeth."

Oops! My bad. I meant that for the Late Night Gourmet and was trying to see how those member tags worked. My Apologies.

@The Late Night Gourmet I do remember seeing pomegranate seeds removed the way you describe. What ever works.

I've created an example Pomegranate recipe. I call it "Pomegranate Meats Rouleaux Carnaval and Rice Boules." You can find it at this link ...

I am positively amazed at what can be done with a good Pomegranate preserve and have some left to make things like peanut butter and Pomegranate jelly sandwiches, ice cream topped with Pomegranate or Cheese Cake topped with Pomegranate and Whipped Cream.

Fabulous work @flyinglentris. I've never come across pomegranate preserve before...

Pomegranate Juice

I know...not very exciting by itself. But, this is only the base for another recipe that I made.

I have a question about this Challenge...I'm not sure to find pomegranate in this period, thus I'm wondering if I can post a recipe which I've already posted on last October...if not absolutely no problem of course

If it's in the recipes forum area, then you can't use it for the competition, even it it wasn't used for another Challenge; see my post above for a recipe I posted previously that I wished I could have used for this competition. But, if it's NOT on Cooking Bites anywhere, then it's perfectly okay to use a recipe you're not able to make now.

That's correct. The Spice Challenge does allow previously posted recipes but not the Recipe Challenge. But strangely enough @MypinchofItaly the pomegranate I bought recently is from Sicily! The website for the one I bought (Natoora) says they are in season November to January.

Steak and Shrimp Dim Sum (Chinese Dumplings)

I know I'm double-dipping (ha...get it??), but this qualifies for both the pomegranate challenge and the cook-along. My juicing recipe above was used to make this.

In the northern hemisphere, all the way to February, southern hemisphere, March to May. So it is conceivable that if your local stores import, that you could find them until May.

Are you entering this in the Challenge? Or is this the older posted recipe you were talking about?

This is a new one. I think its @MypinchofItaly who had an already posted older recipe.

Ha ha - clever boy! If you had managed to get peppercorns in it you could have scored a triple! They look great.

mmm, I haven't found them here, only in bottle juice

Of course you could always devise a recipe using bottled juice!
