Pomegranate & Cardamom (100g)

For Meats

• Dry Rub: Coat chicken, lamb, or fish with a thin layer of olive oil, then rub the Pomegranate & Cardamom seasoning evenly over the surface. Let it sit for 30 minutes or refrigerate overnight to let the flavours infuse.
• Wet Marinade: Mix the seasoning with olive oil, lemon juice, and a touch of yoghurt to create a fragrant marinade. Apply generously to your meat, cover, and let it rest before grilling or roasting.
• BBQ/Braai: On the braai, the seasoning gently caramelises, creating a beautifully golden crust. Perfect for lamb chops, chicken thighs, or delicate cuts of fish.

For Vegetables

• Grilled Vegetables: Toss aubergine, courgettes, or bell peppers with olive oil and Pomegranate & Cardamom seasoning. Grill on the braai until tender, adding a sweet and citrusy flavour.
• Roasted Vegetables: Sprinkle the seasoning over root vegetables like carrots, parsnips, or butternut squash before roasting at 200°C (400°F) for a caramelised, sweet finish.
• Vegetable Kebabs: Skewer a mix of vegetables, coat in oil and seasoning, and grill until slightly charred for a smoky and aromatic taste.

On the Braai

• Direct Grilling: Perfect for quick-cooking cuts of meat or vegetables. Grill over direct heat to lock in the bright, sweet flavours and achieve a golden caramelised crust.
• Low & Slow Cooking: For larger cuts like lamb shoulder or whole chicken, apply the seasoning generously, then cook over indirect heat to allow the flavours to penetrate deeply.
• Basting: Combine the seasoning with melted butter or olive oil to create a basting sauce. Brush onto meats or vegetables during cooking for added layers of sweet, citrusy flavour.
