What Makes Fesenjoon Special?
Fesenjoon is a stew like no other. Its magic lies in the creamy texture of finely ground walnuts combined with the tartness of pomegranate molasses. Traditionally made with tender chicken and often accompanied by pumpkin for a touch of sweetness, it’s a dish that showcases the sophistication of Persian cooking.
