Make This Chicken ???? Recipe With Walnut & Pomegranate For Huge Health Benefits | فسنجون

Walnuts are natural mood enhancer, heart healthy, may support weight loss and excellent for healthy digestive system. Pomegranates on the other hand are a sweet fruit with a hint of tartness, Pomegranate molasses contains antioxidants that are beneficial to your immune system, pomegranate juice may prevent or slow the accumulation of cholesterol in your arteries. Cholesterol buildup causes your arteries to harden and narrow, and is the leading cause of heart disease. Antioxidants such as polyphenols can can reduce low-density lipoproteins that lead to cholesterol buildup. Pomegranates contain a higher amount of polyphenol antioxidants than most fruits. Pomegranate molasses contains several B vitamins including B1, B3, B5 and B6. Vitamin B1, or thiamin helps your body produce energy and is an aid to enzymes that help your muscles, cardiovascular system and nervous system. Vitamin B3, or niacin, helps to maintain the health and vitality of your skin, nervous system and digestive system. Vitamin B5, or pantothenic acid, helps promote normal growth and development, especially in young people. In this recipe we'll use both pomegranate molasses and walnuts to make our delicious fesenjan.
Fesenjan recipe or some time spelled as fesenjoon ashpazi (ashpazi means cooking in Farsi language) is a dish where chicken or duck pieces are cooked in a mixture of walnut and pomegranate molasses. Obviously in this video I show you how I made the Fesenjan recipe with chicken. Fesenjan stew is a nutty Iranian dish and it has an incredibly delicious subtle layers of flavor to it, most probably due to the main ingredients pomegranate molasses and walnuts, which are normally added in a finely chopped and coarsely copped consistency during the cooking process.

We would really love to know your thoughts on this recipe please feel free to share it with us in the comment section. If you've tried fesenjan recipe before, was it fesenjan with duck or fesenjan with chicken, and which one would you say is your favorite and why?
