#MyCookbook #persian This stew is an iranian dish. It is called" Fesenjan".It can be made with chicken, turkey, meatball( miced beef/ lamb). We usually serve it to our guests. Walnuts grinded and simmered in ice water for hours so the oil from walnuts comes our slowly. Be patient if you decide to make this dish. I used boneless chicken breast as my kids do not like chicken picese with bone. Chicken pieces should not be small.They will fall apart after long time simmering. The oil at top of the stew should be oil from walnuts not cooking oil. Some people like Fesenjan sweet so they add sugar. Some like it sour so they choose sour paste. We like sweet and sour. I used sweet and sour pomegranate paste from Iran. You can use 1 Kg chicken picese with bone instead of what used.
Note: this stew needs iranian walnuts. I have tried less oily american walnuts. Not same flavour.
