Persian Pomegranate Chicken<\/p><\/div>\n

Iran was a key center for ancient civilizations and its culture and cuisine got influenced through history. High usage of herbs like parsley & spices like cinnamon\u00a0&\u00a0saffron with fruits like pomegranate, plums and apricots along with meat and rice mark the modern Iranian or Persian cuisine. Few well known dishes from this region of the world include Persian Kebab’s, Shirin Pilaf (sweet rice), Sholeh Zard<\/a>, Fereni<\/a>, Ash-e-Anar (pomegranate soup), Berian, Kofta Tabrizi, Baklava, Gaz and a variety of Biryani and Naan etc.<\/p>\n

Since Iranian\/ Persian cuisine uses fruits like pomegranate, I thought of making this recipe known as Persian Pomegranate Chicken. The recipe uses pomegranate molasses, which is extensively available in the middle eastern countries. However since I could not get it, I made it on my own. Its fairly easy, however does take some time. Since the region also uses a lot of dry fruits, I used walnuts in this recipe. The chicken is cooked in the molasses, walnut powder using cinnamon and nutmeg spices. The meat soaks in the flavor wonderfully and comes out in a very unique taste. It best goes with some rice and tastes absolutely delicious. I’m sure you would love this making and eating this dish. So here is Persian Pomegranate Chicken Recipe.<\/p>\n
