Fesenjoon~Fesenjan- Walnut Chicken Pomegranate Stew
Ingredients:
1 lbs Chicken Breast or tenders
2-3 cups of walnuts- ground
1 red onion
4 cloves of chopped garlic
Choice of sugar
Oil
2 cups Water
1 tablespoon Turmeric
1 teaspoon Aleppo pepper
Ground pepper to taste
1/2 teaspoon Paprika
Salt to taste
1/2 teaspoon Onion powder
1/2 teaspoon Garlic power
1 bottle Pomegranate Molasses
Pomegranate for garnish
Begin with bringing a medium to large pan to medium heat and add oil. Add chopped onions and sauté until translucent and cooked. Before bringing in the chicken to the sauté I like to prepare the chicken in a light marinate of garlic and turmeric with a small amount if oil. Once onions are cook add the chicken to the sauté as well as your turmeric and other spices like the garlic powder, onion powder, Aleppo pepper, and salt to taste. Once chicken is cooked on both sides bring in the walnuts and combine with the pomegranate molasses. Add water and let cook for about an hour. Once chicken is cook either shred or leave as is if desired. Lastly add in the amount of sugar that us desired, I like to add about 1 tablespoon and taste and add more if needed. This is a sweet and savory dish so a nice balance is best, so before adding in more pomegranate Molasses or sugar it’s better to taste first. Too with pomegranate as garnish abs serve over a bed of fluffy Persian rice.
Pomegranate Molasses-
Fesenjoon is a sweet and savory dish with complex and rich flavors. This authentic Persian staple is one that is present at all major holidays, so it’s pretty special in the time and effort it takes to create this amazing stew. The labor intensive effort is so worth it at the end when the final result reveals the amazing tasty tender flavors. Hope you enjoy creating this amazing Persian delicacy, happy cooking!!

Fesenjan: A Rich, SWEET and SOUR Pomegranate and Walnut Stew
Iranian cuisine is a treasure trove of delicious and unique dishes, each with its own story and flavors that transport you to the heart of Persia ????????????.
