New Dish
The pomegranate tree I planted a couple of years ago has born fruit. Two fruits, to be precise. One of them was split open today: you KNOW we had to eat it.
I had some squash cooking in the solar cooker — it was cloudy this afternoon which got in the way of success, here, but got it started. Add to this the farro (heirloom wheat; emmer is a good substitute) I cooked like barley and the sorrel I parboiled down, and done. A little basil found its way in there. The pomegranate’s tartness was offset by the sweet squash; the sorrel’s light lemony taste did away with the need for a dressing. I wish we’d had a little salty cheese but maybe next time.

You just made me very hungry!
So envious of your fresh pomegranate!
That sounds really excellent. I will have to pick some pomegranates and give it a try. Did you know there are a bunch of pomegranate trees in the Experimental College Garden? Very few people seem to pick them!
