It’s no secret that pear and blue cheese is a fabulous combination. The same is true for this flavourful cheese and broccoli. If you then add a refreshing dressing and top it all with juicy pomegranate arils and nuts, you have side dish like no other. It’s the perfect balance between the salty blue cheese, sweetness of the fruit and crunch from the arils and roasted nuts.

Making this dough really doesn’t take a lot of effort, just a bit of planning. Allowing it to rise for 12-24 hours results in a delicious bubbly texture once baked. Baking it with bacon and feta on top and serving it with pomegranate rubies, rocket and a balsamic glaze takes this focaccia to a whole new level.
