How to Make Fesenjan with Chicken - Siyona Raina Palate
Fesenjan, known in Persian as fesenjān (خورش فسنجان), is a classic Iranian stew that dazzles both the culinary enthusiast and the adventurous home cook. Rich, tangy, and distinctly aromatic, this dish is prized for its deep, complex flavors resulting from a luxurious blend of ground walnuts, pomegranate molasses, and slow-simmered meat—traditionally duck, though chicken is now widely used for its versatility and accessibility. Fesenjan exemplifies what chefs and culinary historians respect as “layered flavor-building,” a cornerstone in Persian cuisine.
