Khoresht Fesenjan (Pomegranate and Walnut Stew) - Cooking with Yousef

Hi Friends -

Today we make a classic Persian dish named "Fesenjan" (خورشت فسنجان) , also spelled as "Fesenjoon".

This is a Pomegranate and Walnut Stew ("khoresht" or "khoresh" - the word for stew) and today, we make it using chicken.

There are many regional variations for this dish in Iran. I prefer this one as its relatively the simplest and for me, has the best flavor that emphasis's the main ingredients by keeping it simple.

As far as the sweetness and sourness, please taste along the way as this is a personal preference. My family likes it on the sweeter side, so we add some brown sugar as you will see. In other preparations, some people favor the sourness. I like a good balance between the main flavors and that's what I present here.

Also, since we eat this with basmati rice, you can go to my earlier video for that here:
