Share:
Ingredients
- 8 chicken drumsticks (with bones)
- 1 onion , finely chopped
- ½ teaspoon Turmeric
- 4 cups walnuts
- 1 cup pomegranate molasses
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon cardamom seeds (optional)
- A few pomegranate seeds (to garnish)
Equipment
- food processor
Instructions
- Sprinkle the chicken pieces with salt, pepper and turmeric. Sauté them in a pan over medium to high heat with a little oil until browned on all sides.
- Remove chicken. Add a little more oil and fry the onions for a few minutes until they are translucent.
- Put the chicken pieces back in the pan. Add 2 cups (500 ml) of water (or chicken broth). Bring to a boil. Cover the pan and simmer on low heat for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, toast the walnuts on a pan (with no oil) for a few minutes. It is also possible to toast them on a baking sheet in the oven at 350 F (180˚C) for 8 to 10 minutes.
- Wait for a few minutes until the walnuts are warm and grind them in a food processor to obtain a powder.
- Add this walnut powder, the pomegranate molasses, sugar and cardamom seeds to the chicken.
- Cover and simmer over very low heat for 1 hour. Make sure to stir every 20 minutes to ensure that the walnuts do not stick to the bottom.
- Adjust the taste with salt and sugar before serving.
- Serve with white Persian rice (polo) and pomegranate seeds to garnish.
