One of my purchases at the recent Food Show was Pomegranate Molasses. I know I have seen several recipes recently with this ingredient in them that looked fantastic. I tried a few different options at the food show but this one was the best...pity you can't buy it yet in NZ apart from the food show.
I used smoke garlic from '
The Original Smoke and Spice Company' that I got at the Food Show.
I always try to have their Smoked Garlic Salt in the pantry - I use this in lots of dishes!
I served this with mashed potatoes (a family favourite) and a salad with vegetarian option for the non meat eater.
Pomegranate Molasses Chicken
You will need:
6 chicken breasts (buy the best quality you can afford at the time)
2 tablespoons olive oil
50g butter
1 medium onion, finely diced
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped finely
2 cloves garlic, chopped finely
250mls stock (vege or chicken)
4 tablespoons pomegranate molasses*
1 tablespoon brown sugar
Salt and pepper
What to do:
In a heavy based pot, melt the butter and oil until almost smoking. Gently add the chicken breasts, skin side down. Leave to brown (about 5-8 mins) - try not to fiddle with them until they are well browned! Turn them and brown the other side.
Remove the chicken and set aside. To the remaining juice/fat in the pot add the onion and sauté until it begins to soften. Now add the rosemary and garlic and sauté for a further 3-4 minutes.
Add the stock, pomegranate molasses, sugar and seasoning and bring this to the boil. Once it has come to the boil add the chicken back into the pot.
Simmer for a further 15-20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through. Check that the seasoning is sufficient, add salt and pepper as required.
Whilst this is cooking, prepare your polenta or mashed potatoes.
