Narsharab sauce

1 serving

60 minutes

Narsharab is a rich pomegranate sauce with a centuries-old history, originating from ancient Eastern traditions. Its name translates to 'pomegranate juice', and this fruit gives it a characteristic sweet-tart flavor with a slight acidity. Slow evaporation achieves a thick texture, while the addition of pepper enhances depth and spiciness. Narsharab pairs perfectly with meat dishes, especially lamb and poultry, and serves as a wonderful complement to cheeses and vegetables. In European cuisine, it is often used to create complex flavor compositions in marinades and sauces. This sauce embodies a refined balance of sweetness and spiciness, making any dish more expressive and sophisticated.
