Pomegranates 2,3 and 4

 

There are a few more semi ripe pomegranates. Actually they taste good. But are still better in a salad, or savory dish. They were good in cous cous, with spring onion, mint and pine nuts.

They remind me of honeycomb the way they separate from the little segments. They look really nice in salad because they are so bright...

Trouble is, when they are ripe in the garden they are usually in season in the shops- so all that effort and care and I can buy them for $2 each in Woolworth's! But they were good with blue cheese and prosciutto.

The other garden item that is still good in Autumn is rhubarb. I've been trying unsuccessfully to embed a link to a website with blogsy. In the meantime, you can find a nice recipe for roasted rhubarb on Poh's kitchen section of the ABC cooking show. She slow roasts longish pieces and puts them together on the plate to look like a lily. Probably more difficult to do than she lets on. Rhubarb goes well in so many things- on toast for breakfast, with yoghurt for lunch, In a crumble for dessert, or just stewed with sugar or honey, with some ginger or orange pieces added. Not all on the same day of course...

Apparently rhubarb was considered a vegetable last century. Can't say that appeals...

Now a little reward for plodding your way through this blog. At least if you are an Australian resident. Buy yourself a bottle of Seasol fertilizer, take a photo of yourself with it in the garden ( or somebody else's), and write a 20 word rhyme. Email it to Seasol, and you could win $2000. A new chance to win each month. Check out the website! But wait til May, cos I'm planning to win the April one... If you read some of the ones that have won in the past, I think we could all be in with a chance...
