Sweet-sour Anatolian classic β the essential pomegranate condiment
Pomegranate sour β nar ekΕisi in Turkish β is one of the essential condiments of Anatolian cooking. Made by reducing pomegranate juice to a concentrated sweet-sour liquid, it has been used for centuries to finish salads, dress grilled vegetables, and bring balance to meat dishes.
The pomegranates for this version come from Aegean and southern Turkey, where the fruit grows at its best β large, ruby-red, and intensely flavoured by long, warm growing seasons.
