Pork in pomegranate sauce is an original dish with a rich and vibrant flavor. The pomegranate sauce not only serves as the base for the marinade but also gives the meat an extraordinarily appetizing appearance. You can prepare the pork with Azerbaijani Narsharab sauce, as well as with sour Turkish, Iranian, or Georgian pomegranate sauces; it's best to add a bit more honey to these for extra flavor! Cut the pork into portions and marinate for 45 minutes at room temperature or refrigerate for 2-4 hours, whichever is more convenient for you. Then, follow our step-by-step recipe to cook it and impress everyone with your culinary skills!

Pat the pork dry with paper towels. Cut the meat across the grain into slices 1.5 cm thick. Sprinkle each piece with ground black pepper on both sides.

Prepare the marinade. Pour pomegranate and soy sauce into a large bowl, add 1 tbsp. l. olive oil, dried garlic, ground coriander and honey. Stir thoroughly with a whisk until smooth.

Place the meat in a bowl and turn several times to coat the slices evenly with the marinade. Cover the bowl with cling film and leave on the work surface for 45 minutes.

Place a griddle pan over medium-high heat. Grease the bottom with olive oil and heat the pan for 1 minute. Remove meat from marinade and fry for 5 minutes. Carefully turn over and continue cooking for another 5 minutes.

Remove the pan from the heat, cover the meat with foil and leave for 10 minutes. Place the pork on plates and sprinkle with chopped cilantro. Serve with potatoes, rice, couscous or bulgur.

Cooking cod in a pan is very simple. You just need to cut it into pieces and fry them in preheated oil until a golden crust forms. After frying, be sure to drizzle the cod with lemon juice. It will not only add a pleasant acidity to the fish but also make it firmer, ensuring it doesn't fall apart when served. If you don't have lemon juice, you can use regular vinegar, but in a smaller amount.

Buns stuffed with mushrooms are a fragrant, hearty, and comforting dish, perfect for breakfast, a snack, or a warm dinner. In an air fryer, the buns turn out especially appetizing: with a crispy, golden crust and a tender, juicy filling inside. If you don't have an air fryer, no problem – these buns bake wonderfully in the oven too, retaining their rich flavor and pleasant texture.

The mushroom filling is juicy and aromatic, with a subtle mushroom note and a creamy undertone. To make the dish even more interesting, you can add garlic, herbs, cream, or a little chicken fillet to the mushrooms.

Besides button mushrooms, other types of mushrooms are also suitable: oyster mushrooms, wild porcini, birch boletes, or chanterelles. Each type of mushroom will give the dish its own special aroma and character, making the stuffed buns a truly homemade and delicious treat.

Following this recipe, the syrniki turn out a bit denser than usual and slightly less sweet, yet they remain incredibly delicious and healthy.
