Solomon Islands, pie and new things

Hi,

The Solomon Islands is a collection of Islands to the east of Papua New Guinea, for this nation we decided to cook Kibbe. This dish is made from beef (or lamb) and burghul.


In the dish we used tamarind concentrate and pomegranate, two ingredients that I have never tasted before. I quite like the pomegranate and the pomegranate nectar is actually quite nice as a drink.


The dish itself, the filling was very different, the pomegranate seeds added something a bit tangy while the lemon juice added zest. The tamarind added a flavour I couldn’t quite detect or explain. The crust was slightly hard but still enough moisture to make it ok, burghul pies will never beat pastry pies in my book.

A very different dish.

Bye
