Tip: Pomegranate molasses is a syrup made by boiling down the juice from pomegranate seeds. It’s a commonly used ingredient in Middle Eastern cuisine and can be found in the international section of some grocery stores or in Middle Eastern food stores. It will give this dish a sweet and sour punch of flavor.
