Amazing when it’s done right.
This is one of my Bobby Flay favs. Its fun to cook,easy and I enjoy watching people go crazy over the smell when the mixture is added.
As much as I hate to say it I did not enjoy this recipe. Coming from a lebanese home I was familiar with the pomegranted molasses ingrediant. I remember my grandmoster using it to make certain cookies but very rarley. The product has a extremeley sweet almost sour taste.
The end result was really nothin special, deffiantley wont try again.
This is a very good and unique dish, and a great way to showcase pomegranate, which has become very popular. I actually used cornish hens and it turned out great. Just be careful to not burn, as the molasses has a very high sugar content. As for the molasses, you can buy it in a global foods store, or you can make your own by reducing some pomegranate juice, sugar to taste, and a little lemon juice to a syrup consistency.
The taste was very good, and was very easy to prepare
and the presentation was awesome !!!
When I placed the poultry on the table, the gloss of the glaze and the grill marks on the bird my guest’s ooohed and aahhd. A nice addittion to anyone who is tired of the same old rubs and marinates———-Thanks, Mike
