  • Walnut, date and pomegranate chicken (Khoresh-e fesenjan)

    • anightowl on January 26, 2014

      I have made this recipe a number of times (I substitute pecans for the walnuts, and sometimes finely chop them, instead of powdering, it works either way). It can easily be cooked in a slow cooker. I do 1 hour on high, then 2 or 3 hours on low. If you use chicken breasts instead of drumsticks the stew is a slightly bizarre almost lavender color thanks to the pomegranate juice, but the taste is amazing. I have used thighs as well, and the resulting dish almost tastes like it's made with roast beef. I lightly sauté additional sliced onions near the end of the cooking time to add as a topping. I don't usually have fresh pomegranate seeds on hand, but sprinkling pine nuts on top is a nice addition and combined with the sautéd onions adds some textural interest. Serve over rice (sometimes I add peas or finely chopped spinach to the rice for color) so none of the yummy sauce goes to waste. I have also poured the sauce over spaghetti squash (cooked with a bit of besar spice) - yum!
