Pomegranate Choc Chip Brownies
A random act but I bought a pomegranate the other day and it sat in the fruit bowl for a while until I could work out what to do with it. I had seen something somewhere about a pomegranate brownie – couldn’t ever find that article again but it did prompt a web search for one.
I found this Pomegranate Chocolate Chip Brownie on a website that I think sells bikini’s – so apparently you can eat this and look amazing in a bikini too (Bikini.com). Absolutely no reason not then!
I gave it a go and took to Sunday morning soccer for a taste test (minus the few pieces I had already hoed into), it was a score! Click on the link above to get the original recipe.
I have also adapted it for the Thermomix scroll down below and also check out how the Thermomix deseeds a pomegranate in 1 second on this You Tube clip Deseed a Pomegranate in your Thermomix, no mess, amazing!
I have seen just the seeds sold in the supermarket though which is also an option – they are very good for you, trust me I did an assignment on them!
I’m going to make these again for our next book club.
