- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 6 leaves Fresh mint leaves

Directions
Step 1
Begin by peeling and finely mincing the garlic cloves.

In a small saucepan, combine the pomegranate juice and honey. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring it to a simmer.

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the red wine vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
Step 5
Let the sauce cool to room temperature.
Step 6
Finely chop the fresh mint leaves and stir them into the cooled sauce along with the lemon zest.

Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed with additional salt or pepper.
Step 8
Transfer the sauce to a serving bowl or jar, and serve the Mediterranean Pomegranate Sauce over your dish of choice. Enjoy!
