A Persian dish of chicken stewed in a walnut and pomegranate sauce, served with rice.
In a large pot, fry the onions in oil until golden brown.
Process nuts to form a coarse paste. Add water and continue processing to form a smooth, uniform paste.
Add chicken to pot with onions along with walnut paste, pomegranate molasses, salt, and pepper. Stir to evenly incorporate.
Bring to a boil over medium heat, then cover, reduce heat, and simmer until sauce is thickened and chicken is very tender. While cooking, stir ocassionally to prevent sticking.
Made this last night. It's not going to win any beauty contests, but it is very delicious. It is so flavorful that it almost has to be served with rice in order to temper it.
