  • 1 tbsp sumac
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 100g ricotta
  • 1 tbsp runny honey
  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced
  • 30g walnut pieces
  • 1 tbsp pomegranate molasses
  • 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed or grated

Method

3 steps
  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 190°C/170°C fan/gas 5. In a bowl, toss the radishes with the cardamom, sumac, 1 tbsp oil and some salt. Place the ricotta in the centre of a small roasting tin and scatter the radishes around it. Drizzle over the honey with any leftover oils from the bowl, then scatter with the lemon zest. Roast for 15 mins; add the walnuts and cook for 3 mins more.

  2. Step 2

    For the dressing, whisk together the remaining 2 tbsp oil, the pomegranate molasses, red wine vinegar, lemon juice and garlic in a large bowl. Add the lettuce, red onion and rocket; toss.

  3. Step 3

    Divide the salad between bowls; spoon over the radishes and walnuts with any juices; tear up and add the ricotta. Pick over the dill sprigs and scatter with the pomegranate seeds.
