The complex, sour-sweet flavours of pomegranate molasses (available in Middle Eastern and fine food stores) give this dip a tangy edge. If you can't find it, use 3 tbsp (50 mL) lemon juice and 2 tbsp (25 mL) liquid honey instead. Serve with pita chips.
Rich, fatty fish, such as rainbow trout and salmon, stand up well to the earthy, complex flavours of jerk seasoning. Since this dish takes only a few minutes to make, it's great for last-minute entertaining.
For the simple pleasures of southern Italy's exuberant pasta delights, start with a full-bodied flavourful olive oil then toss with garlic and tender shrimp. For a classic Aglio e Olio, omit the shrimp.
