  AWESOME!! How to impress diners simply - you definitely get the !! WOW factor.I have made this dish twice now, at BBQ's - everyone loves it. I buy olive sourdough and sundried tomato sourdough bread for the 'dipping' part. Also you can't buy pomegranate seeds in a tub in Australia, but Ihave roughly found that 1/2 a pomegranate will give you plenty of seeds.

  i made this as an amuse bouche for my sister, husband and my family one sunday lunch. the texture of the goats cheese and the colour of the pomegranate seeds with the chives is so fresh. the dressing adds a lovely tang. i then made crab salad with grapefruit and chardonay vinegar dressing, served with crunchy ciabatta. appetizer consisted of tomatoe sorbet with vodka and celery sticks. mains was slow braised shin of beef in port and guiness with pickled walnuts and pastry tops, mash and green beans. puddings were tangerine mouse ice cream with rhubarb soup and lemone polenta cake with bluberry coulis. traditional cheeses and chocolate truffles with coffee. all in all a superb dinner (if i say so myself). would definately recommend making the goats cheese it takes no time at all and looks stunning. kazzy p.

  Easy and can be made ahead but looks very impressive once the pomegranate seeds and chives added. Forgot to add the drizzle till it was nearly finished but everyone said the drizzle made it even bettr. Served with walnut bread.

  Not possible to overstate how much I love this recipe. Very easy, but still impressive. I made it into canapes for a party as well and they went down well.

  Very good, easy to make and looks very impressive! Served with French stick and homemade (well breadmaker-made) tomato and parmesan bread. Will make again.

  Delicious! So easy to make and looks great once you put the pomegranate seeds and chives on. My family loved it! I served it with some seeded crackers. Definitely a keeper!

  Yum! The pomegranates go very well. Worth using those big dark red ones which are a bit more sharp.

  Made this for a hogmanay party and it was fab. Didnt have ricotta so used a combo of cream cheese and cottage cheese then blended it to get the right consistency. Served it shaped into a love heart shape on a red shiny plate.
