Hot pomegranate sauce

6 servings

10 minutes

Pomegranate sauce is a vibrant and rich-flavored element of Georgian cuisine that adds a special zest to dishes. Its origins trace back to traditional Caucasian recipes where pomegranate juice served as the base for many sauces and marinades. The combination of tangy-sweet pomegranate juice with spicy chili pepper and aromatic garlic creates a rich flavor bouquet. The sauce pairs perfectly with meat, especially lamb and chicken, as well as baked vegetables and fish. It can be used as a marinade or as an accompaniment to finished dishes. The slight tartness of the pomegranate softens the heat of the pepper, making the taste layered and deeply rich. This is not just a sauce but a true highlight in the culinary palette that enlivens any dish.
