Khoresh-e Fesenjān (Persian: خورش فسنجان), or simply Fesenjān (Persian: فسنجان) (also spelled as Fesenjoon), is an Iranian stew (a khoresh) flavored with pomegranate paste and ground walnuts (see bazha).[1] It is traditionally made with poultry (duck or chicken). Fesenjān can also be made using balls of ground meat or chunks of lamb, but fish or no meat at all are very unusual. Depending on the recipe, it can have a sweet or sour taste. Fesenjān is served with Iranian white or yellow rice (polo or chelo).
