Fesenjan — Persian recipe

Fesenjan

Chicken braised in ground toasted walnuts and pomegranate molasses until the sauce turns dark brown and glossy. The walnuts are the only thickener — there is no flour in it — and getting the sweet-sour balance right at the end is more of the recipe than anything that happens earlier.
