  14. I should definitely try this with the pom juice. I made it substituting 1/4 cup pom molasses and it was too tart, even for me. I eventually warmed up to it, but I'd love to try it again with the juice. Sounds like a winning soup. :)

    1. I have been getting more into the bean and lentil scene, so this sounds like an excellent combination of grain, lentil and veg. The pomegranate should really make it pop with flavor.

  25. Oooh, I love lentils and I've just recently had them on a flight, surprisingly:p
    I wished I could stock up on pomegranate juice in my fridge as well, but I can't find any good one around here, or maybe I have been too picky?:)

  30. Heck yes for macaron dates! I am super jealous... and kind of thankful, because I'd be a hundred pounds heavier and have much less money at my disposal if I lived any closer to Laduree than I do now!

    This stew looks awesome! Lentil and barley and spinach and golden raisins and pomegranate molasses... Such a great combination of peculiar flavors. Love your bowl, too :)

  31. Swear there really is a universal consciousness because like a number of other people, I've had lentils on the brain. Love the idea of barley in this too, yum! Funny, I'll bet the pomegranate taste changes when added to the savory ingredients sort of like cinnamon in Danish Kale soup and is totally surprising. This goes on the must make list for sure!

  33. I don't have pomegranate juice, but I do have a pomegranate so old I'm a little afraid to slice it open...

  34. ANything lentil is always an instant crowd pleaser in your house. The pomegranate it such a nice change from the typical ingredients list.

  35. Oh that's great! I'm quite into lentils lately, having discovered bags of unused beans and such at the back of my kitchen cupboard a few days ago, so am trying to use them up! I don't have pomegranate juice constantly in my fridge though, but I'll find some!

    ReplyDelete
  36. I see lentils popping up all over. This sounds like a great combination.
