Pomeamole!! That's what I want to call it, so that's what it is. Guacamole with the addition of tiny little pearls of sweet and tangy juice.. I mean, come one, it can't get much better.
This is what happens when avocados are on super sale, I buy a lot…and then eat a lot….and then eat some more. I start to get a little crafty and, wa la.. add pomegranate seeds. I also inflict anyone eating around me with avocado, even if they believe that they don't like it because that's not possible. I know this because there was a time where I believed that I didn't like avocados… and that's just crazy. I remember the very moment I realized I was wrong. It was the first food Nick ever made for me. I was working at a pottery studio and wasn't able to leave because of a raku firing and I was starving. My love saved me with a sandwich, and it was the best I had ever eaten. A sandwich that contained hummus, greens, sun-dried tomatoes, and yup, big slices of avocado. That sandwich change my life. I knew from that moment on…. I loved avocados……oh and that I loved Nick too. I know, we are so cute that you want to barf. Well go ahead, just do it before you eat the pomeamole.
It's all pretty simple...One very tasty ripe avocado, about 1/2 cup of pomegranate seeds, a little chopped onion, a bit of chopped tomato, a lemon, a few cloves of garlic and a pinch of salt. It's what dreams are made of.
Mash it all together minus the pomegranate seeds… As smooth or as chunky as you like it….
Fold in 1/2 the seeds
And top with the rest! And another squeeze of lemon… just like that. You can eat this magic with anything you want; chippers, rice cakes, tacos, toast, or even top a kale salad with a big scoop. …..we at it with carrots and broccoli. SO GOOD!
