I can’t believe it’s November. Life has taken some pleasantly surprising turns the past few months. If you’re a single mom, you know what it means to be flexible. Flexibility is probably the key to single parenting success. And you can’t be flexible without trusting…
Pomegranate molasses has become one of my favorite new condiments. If you know me, you know I’m borderline obsessed with strange and obscure condiments as well as all the usual suspects. It’s fantastic to be able to pump out some fresh cocktail sauce for some…
I served this salad as a base for cornish game hens roasted in pomegranate molasses and sumac and it was fantastic. It’s a natural accompaniment to the fowl and the dressing is lip smacking delicious. You could use any winter squash here. I’ve used butternut, red kuri, and even sweet potatoes.
Arugula is a fun choice, but I had some kale that I needed to use. Both hold up well to being topped with warm meat. I had some pepitas I roasted for some texture and a lone pomegranate floating around the fridge for a lovely pop of freshness in the salad. For some heartiness…as if the roasted squash and kale isn’t hearty enough…you could add some toasted chopped pecans, but walnuts would be tasty also, if pepitas aren’t your thing.
Onions and fowl have always been great partners, but you could easily toss in some celery instead. Apples and dried cranberries would be fantastic add ins, especially if this salad was eaten as a main course to make it more substantial.
