Pomegranate Salsa

This time of year, with pomegranates in season, I find myself spooning this salsa over all sorts of things, from duck to turkey and even grilled fish.

Ingredients

3 tablespoons finely diced shallots
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon pomegranate molasses
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
1 tablespoon sliced flat-leaf parsley
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Place the shallots, lemon juice, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl, and let sit 5 minutes.

    Step 2

    Whisk in the pomegranate molasses and then the olive oil. Stir in the pomegranate seeds and the parsley. Taste for balance and seasoning.
