Recipes Soups, Stews and Chili Recipes Stews Chicken Pomegranate Stew with Chicken (Khoresh Fesenjan) 4.2 (76) 58 Reviews 2 Photos Chicken, onions, finely processed walnuts, and pomegranate juice are simmered to perfection. The sauce should be as thick as a good chili. Serve with saffron steamed basmati rice. Enjoy! If you prefer, substitute angelica powder for cardamom; instead of pomegranate juice, you can substitute 1/2 cup pomegranate paste diluted in 2 cups water.
