King Prawn, Tabouleh, Tahini and pomegranate


Beginning of a hectic week & expecting a busyweekend. Summer is nearly over & we have had our first rain.
The herb garden here at Eléa is buzzing with action,not just by the chefs picking herbs, but with all the aromas from the rosemary,sage & especially the basil.

My ingredient this month is pomegranate.
Love the look and texture of this fruit. When you rip itopen you are welcomed with rosy red beads of juiciness. Takes a while to peel,but it is well worth the wait.
Being an ancient fruit of eastern Mediterranean & the MiddleEast, for my dish I have combined it with poached king prawns, tabouleh &Tahini (sesame dip). Drizzle with some pomegranate juice reduction.  Topped off with a baby rocket salad, for thatpeppery effect
The flavours all complement each other. 

Enjoy..
