Baked Onion With Pomegranate Syrup (Firinda Nar Eksili Sogan)

Submitted by COOKGIRl

"From turkishcookbook.com. I opted to broil the onions instead of baking at four hundred degrees in the original recipe. We enjoyed the onions served over baby arugula/rocket/rockette-an intense combination of flavors!"

This is delicious. I used sweet onions as that is what I had on hand. I did add more Iranian pomegranate molasses than 1 tbs. I knew we love it. I used sea salt, freshly cracked pepper, and did serve it with baby greens that included baby arugula. I served this dish with a very dolled up Persian style rice with lots of vegetarian additions/no saffron and Balkan yogurt to eat it with on the side. Made for NA*ME Tag! Come play!!
