🇮🇷 Iran recipe
Fesenjan
Fesenjan is one of the most ancient and distinctive dishes in Persian cuisine, a rich stew built on the unlikely pairing of ground walnuts and pomegranate molasses. The walnuts provide a thick, velvety body while the pomegranate molasses contributes a complex sweet-and-sour flavor that deepens as the stew slowly cooks. Often served at celebrations and weddings, it is a dish of extraordinary depth and elegance.
