Calm seas in Paradise, the soul of the island….
a garden in Paradise, a feast for the eyes, the glorious Mediterranean sea, the heart of the island beating peacefully..
…I cut pomegranates yesterday afternoon, red, rosy and full of flavor thanks to the Southern sun and soil which make them unique.
I am planning many recipes this week using pomegranate as an ingredient and I am writing this as I make pomegranate jam and pomegranate molasses to add to my Mediterranean range. Literally from the tree into the pan, capturing all those flavors, they will be trapped and secure in a jar until the winter months when this rosy luscious fruit with many healing properties will no longer be in season….
Squeezing out the juice.
Putting the seeds into a Muslin bag.
And very soon we will see the result….
The prettiest, rosiest, tastiest pomegranates from Paradise Island…
![The weather is changing and here comes the autumn and some delicious roasts. Sprinkling some raw couscous on fennel and sesame seed potatoes before roasting them makes them extra crunchy and so soft inside.
300g potatoes, chopped with skin on
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons uncooked couscous
1 teaspoon fresh or dried herbs [optional]
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1/2 tablespoon fennel seeds
Sea Salt
Prepare an oven dish by greasing with a tablespoon of olive oil. In a large bowl toss the potatoes with the olive oil, herbs and salt if you are using it. Finally add the raw couscous and toss again. Use your hands to mix the potatoes and ensure that they are consistently covered.
Place in a preheated oven at 220C for 35 minutes. Spinkle with more sea salt if desired, fennel and sesame seeds.
Serve hot or cold with drinks and a toothpick or as a side to a main meal. The inside remains soft and so creamy !
