I'd never had this before, but wanted to try a traditional Iranian dish for a holiday dinner this year. The scent and taste are mysterious and wonderful. This recipe is a keeper! I followed the suggestion to sautee the onions in cinnamon (couldn't afford to spring for cardamon). I also added just a touch, about 1/8 tsp. of nutmeg. Since I couldn't find any pomegranate syrup/molasses, I substituted 2 cups of pomegranate juice (POM) plus about 1 cup of vegetable stock. (NOTE: I was going to make my own pomegranate syrup/molasses, but when I read the recipe for this, I saw that, by simmering the POM for 60 minutes, the end result is similar, so I just let it do its magic during the normal course of following this recipe, as is). My method may not be 100% authentic, but it tasted great. Since I am a vegetarian, I used QUORN naked chik'n cutlets. I imagine that chicken, duck and pheasant add their own tasty elements to the dish, but the QUORN was wonderful, too. This was for a big family holiday dinner. I made this one day ahead, to let the flavors meld, then re-heated it in the oven at 350 degrees for about 20 to 30 minutes. I garnished it with a sprinking of fresh pomegranate seeds on top and several parsley sprigs, and served lime wedges and rice on the side, which made for a beautiful presentation!

This was AWESOME. I was in the mood for Persian food and was immediately intrigued by the marriage of walnuts and pomegranate. I used POM Tangerine juice with stock and added 3 tbs of brown sugar. The tangerine in the juice really gave it a balance of sweetness and added a nice citrus aroma. I also took your advice and added cardamom and cinnamon. It made the whole house smell wonderful. I made it with two whole chicken legs for my husband and I, and we have sauce-soaked rice for leftovers. Yum!

NC, this recipe is delicious! I used four skinless, boneless chicken breasts. I also added 1/2 teaspoon of ground cardamom and one cinnamon stick when sauteeing the onions. The cardamom and cinnamon really shouldn't be omitted in my opinion. Served over white basmati rice and alongside seasonal roasted vegetables from the farmers' market: romanesco, golden beets, turnips, zucc and broccoli. Another Zaar recipe that I am thrilled to have discovered. My husband thought the sauce was perfect, I would probably add a little bit more honey next time. (I used honey in place of white sugar.) All in all, a fabulous meal and equally fabulous recipe. Thank you. cg

This is outstanding and just too easy!! I substituted pomegranate juice for the stock, just because I had some, and used honey for sweetening. I ate something very similar to this in Paris last December and it is wonderful to be able to remind myself of that trip! Thank you so much.
