Lovely Seasonal Fruits

When it comes to buying fruits and vegetables in Podgorica, you can easily run into trouble. If you have the perfect lunch or dinner planned in your head, it does not necessarily mean that you will be able to find all ingredients in the supermarket. First of all, you will have more luck going to the local markets for nicer fruits and vegetables. But second, it all depends on the S.E.A.S.O.N. So, season is the keyword. That means that when there is the season for watermelon, there is watermelon to be found everywhere. But you may not be able to find those other much needed fruits or vegetables (and please don't get us started on the herbs; another blog-post) for your fancy (or usually in my case: not so fancy) recipes.. 

But, on the other hand, if you learn to plan according to season, you will get the most DELICIOUS sun-ripened fruits and vegetables you have ever tasted. And best of all, they are as organic as they can possibly be, as they are most likely grown at your neighbors fruit/vegetable-patch. 

Right now we are very excited that the season for pomegranate and mandarins have started. Look at these lovely ready-to-eat fruits that we found on the market yesterday, yummy! They are great to use both in salads and to eat as a snack. 

We can also suggest Nigella Lawson's Pomegranate Ice Cream.  You can find the recipe here 

Do you have any recipes to share, using pomegranate or mandarins?
