Khoresh-e Fesenjan - Persian Pomegranate And Walnut Stew
Khoresh-e Fesenjaan is a delicious Persian pomegranate walnut stew! It’s a definite favourite among my friends! This rich sweet and sour stew makes the perfect comfort food for the colder months! It makes you feel all warm and cozy inside.
My Fesenjaan recipe is sweet and sour. Many people prefer it this way, while others like it sour only. I believe the sweet and sour taste is what makes it so appetising for western taste buds. So I suggest, if you haven’t tried Iranian food before and would like to give it a go, this is a great recipe to start exploring Persian cuisine.
