Chicken Fesenjan by Usman and Salman's Food Joint
Chicken fesenjan also known as khoreshe fesenjan or simply fesenjan is a classic Persian stew made with walnuts and pomegranate molasses. The protein however, traditionally is cooked with duck but you can cook with chicken. This dish has a lovely sweet and tangy flavour to it, it is also a show stopper at dinner parties with friends and families. We were inspired by Sabrina Ghayour's recipe from her book Persiana and this is our take on this fantastic dish.
