I would like to be selected as the 2010 POM Featured Blogger. I don’t know what else I need to do in order to make it clear that this is something that I am very capable of. I have shown you videos, recipes, and lots more featuring these fantastic pomegranates. Here is my final attempt at proving my point, this is the recipe that I will submit to be the 2010 POM Featured Blogger.

This recipe is the real deal and I have been thinking about it for a while. The picture isn’t the best, the presentation isn’t the best, but I will have the more fun in 2010 being the POM Featured Blogger than anyone else they choose. So why not me?

Eric deserves this (it will help pay for my culinary school tuition). Please vote for me.

Thank you for your consideration.

Ingredients:

• 1 whole pomegranate,  sliced and seeded (click for instruction), then juiced with about 1/2 cup reserved for sauce and remaining arils for topping on salad/rice
• Yellowfin Ahi Tuna,  I made two of these plates so I had about 1/2 a pound between the two
• Toasted Sesame Seeds     
• Lemongrass, sliced thin
• Sweet Chili Sauce (Mae Ploy)
• Goma Wakame Salad  (seaweed salad)…..wakame seaweed, sesame oil, sesame seeds, rice vinegar, soy sauce, strained then served cold
• Steamed rice
• Sesame Oil
• Murray River Pink Sea Salt
• Black pepper, ground

Procedure:

• Place lemongrass, chili sauce, and pomegranate juice in sauce pan and reduce mixture by half then strain and set aside
• Season tuna with a pinch of pink sea salt, and pepper then roll sides in sesame seeds
• Place a little bit of sesame oil in extremely hot pan
• Sear tuna for 1-2 minutes on each side
• Place rice and seaweed salad on plate with pomegranate arils to cover
• Pour warmed sauce over tuna on plate

Enjoy,
Eric
