FESENJAN

The vibrant colour and taste of the pomegranate seeds make a gorgeous topping for this traditional Persian chicken dish, made with a delicious sauce featuring ground walnuts.

SERVES: 4

PREPARATION: 20 MINUTES

COOKING TIME: 1 HOUR

INGREDIENTS

• 400g walnut pieces

• 30g olive oil

• 30g butter

• 4 chicken breasts or thighs, skin on

• 1 large onion, chopped

• 500ml chicken stock

• 5 tbsp pomegranate molasses

• 2 tbsp honey

• ½ tsp turmeric

• ¼ tsp cinnamon

• ¼ tsp ground nutmeg

• salt and freshly ground black pepper

• 4 tbsp pomegranate seeds

METHOD

Heat a pan and dry toast the walnuts for a few minutes until browned. Grind in a pestle and mortar or whizz in a food processor until you have a fine dust. Set the walnuts aside.

Put the olive oil and butter in the pan and brown the chicken on all sides for about five minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan.

Cook the onion until it is soft and translucent. Return the chicken to the pan with the stock, ground walnuts, pomegranate molasses, honey and spices. Season to taste, making sure you have added lots of pepper. Bring to the boil, then simmer for up to an hour, stirring every 15 minutes to prevent sticking.

Serve with the pomegranate seeds scattered on top. Delicious served with rice or naan bread.
