“This  dish requires no skill at all.  Just halve the fruit and plop them, cut side down, on a screaming hot grill pan.  Leave them for a minute or so, then flip them over onto a plate, top with a dollop of creme fraiche (or yogurt) and a sprinkle of pistachios.  The drizzle of pomegranate molasses makes the flavors pop, and you could substitute any really good fruity vinegar.  It can be a first course, a salad, or a dessert.”- Sue of The View From Great Island food blogFind her original recipe here!
