Recipe Description

When I make this recipe I like to make extra dressing – it’s especially handy if you’ve got an excess of zucchini (courgettes) growing in your garden. It’s such an intense, flavour-packed sauce and is delicious on roasted meats and fish, as well as salads and vegies – pretty much anything!

Ingredient List

2 heaped tablespoons finely chopped dried apricots
2 heaped tablespoons finely chopped dried prunes
2 heaped tablespoons finely chopped dried figs
40 g (1½ oz) finely chopped raisins
40 g (1½ oz) finely chopped pine nuts
1 teaspoon pomegranate molasses
drop of orange blossom water
40 g (1½ oz) tahini
200 g (7 oz) rocket (arugula)
4 zucchini (courgettes) very thinly sliced
dressing
2 red capsicums (bell peppers), diced
2 shallots, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
50 ml (1¾ fl oz) grape seed oil
½ teaspoon cumin
½ teaspoon paprika
juice of 1-2 lemons, depending on their acidity
1 teaspoon pomegranate molasses
20 g (¾ oz) pine nuts, toasted
2 tablespoons good olive oil

Recipe Steps

To make the dressing, sweat the capsicum, shallot and garlic in the oil in a frying pan over a low heat. You don't want it to colour. Once the shallot is translucent add the cumin, paprika and 200 ml (7 fl oz) of water, put the lid on and cook, still on a low heat, until the water has evaporated. Remove it from the heat and stir in the remaining ingredients.

In a bowl combine the dried fruits with the pine nuts, molasses, orange blossom water and tahini. Taste – it may need a pinch of salt, depending on the sweetness of the dried fruits.

Check the seasoning on the dressing. In a large bowl, coat the rocket and zucchini quite heavily with the dressing. Sprinkle over the dried fruit salad and serve.
