Crisped flatbread is essential for a good fattoush salad. Grilling pita on the barbecue deepens the appreciation: you’ll love how charred morsels play off soft lettuce leaves in a tangy pomegranate molasses vinaigrette. For more sweet-tart sensations, dare to add ground cherries for fruity pops of flavour. Pan-grilled tilapia fillets are a light, filling and flaky accompaniment.

Preparation
Grill the pita
Heat the BBQ on high, making sure to oil the grill first. Brush the pita with oil; season with ⅓ of the spices and S&P. Add to the BBQ and grill, 1 to 2 min. per side, until warmed through and beginning to brown. Transfer to a plate. Once cool enough, tear into bite-size pieces.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, halve the ground cherries. Separate the lettuce leaves; tear the leaves.
Cook the tilapia
Pat the tilapia dry with paper towel; season with ½ the remaining spices and S&P. In a grill pan (or large pan), heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the tilapia* and cook, 2 to 3 min. per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
Make the salad
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the pomegranate molasses, vinegar, 3 tbsp oil (double for 4 portions), the remaining spices and S&P. Add the pita, lettuce and ground cherries.
Plate your dish
Divide the tilapia and salad between your plates. Bon appétit!
