I first learned about pomegranate molasses when I was on a braised spare ribs binge a couple of years ago. I bought a bottle with the intention of using it and it's still sitting in my cabinets, unopened. I cook a lot of food from many different cultures and times and have more spices, mixes, and pastes than I know what to do with. I even have a bottle of saba (a grape must) that I bought for a historical recipe that I then changed my mind on. It's no wonder my cabinets are bursting.
My biggest pet peeve is when a cookbook has you make a spice mix and it makes enough to feed an army, but you just need a teaspoon for one recipe!
Jess, amazing post - as always! It resonates with me! I’m always looking for substitutes for recipes because I don’t like to buy things that I will not use multiple times. Last week I read that every week we should eat something new because it can make enhance our creativity, but I think that what you did here it is a huge exercise of creativity. Thanks so much! I will share and save because, for me, this one is a guide for cooking! ♥️ ps: I’m still on my Ottolenghi binge 😂
