Persian Fesenjun image

An amazing ethnic exotic Persian dish. Incredibly easy to make. Crowd pleaser. A lot of oil will come to the top of the dish. Don't worry, this is normal. This is the oil from the walnuts. Pomegranate paste or syrup may be found in Middle Eastern food specialty shops.

This recipe is a waste of time. It didn't turn out well at all.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it needs more spices.

This recipe is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still a good starting point. I'll try adjusting the amount of sugar next time.

This fesenjun recipe is a keeper! The flavors are complex and delicious, and the chicken is cooked to perfection. I served it with basmati rice, and it was a hit with my family.
