A deeply rooted dish of Iranian cuisine where roasted walnuts are simmered for a long time with pomegranate molasses into a dark sauce, and chicken pieces are combined with this sauce. With its sour-sweet balance, it suits special tables alongside rice.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Sauté the chicken

15 min

Sauté the grated onion in oil and add the chicken pieces, cooking until the outer surface changes color.

2

Prepare the walnut sauce

8 min

Toast the coarsely ground walnuts in a dry pan for a few minutes, then mix with hot water to get a smooth paste.

3

Combine the sauce

5 min

Add the walnut paste, pomegranate molasses, sugar, and cinnamon over the chicken and mix.

4

Cook over low heat

45 min

Cover and cook over the lowest heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and the chicken becomes tender. Caution: oil separation is normal; the sauce will come back together as cooking continues.

Reminder

Important: when walnut sauce first comes to a boil, the oil may separate and rise to the top, this is natural; continuing to cook over low heat brings the sauce back together. Note: pomegranate molasses varies in sourness by brand, add it gradually while tasting. Allergen: contains nuts (walnut).

Editor's Note Editörün Notu

If you prepare the sauce a day ahead and let it sit in the fridge, the walnut and pomegranate molasses flavors meld thoroughly, and the taste improves noticeably the next day.
