Spread the walnuts on a rimmed baking sheet, and toast until golden and toasted smelling, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from oven until cool enough to handle then pulse in a food processor until ground into a fine meal.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Meanwhile, use a paper towel to pull off any skin and any excess fat from the chicken thighs. Mix together the coriander, cinnamon, 1 1\/2 teaspoons of the salt, and 1\/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper and rub into the chicken thighs.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Combine the pomegranate juice and brown sugar in small saucepan. Bring to a boil and let cook until reduced by half, about 30 minutes. When the juice is reduced, remove from heat and set aside.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Meanwhile, begin cooking the chicken. Heat the butter and oil in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. When the butter foams, add chicken to the pan, working in batches, so it\u2019s in a single layer and not crowded. Cook chicken until it\u2019s golden brown on both sides, about 2 minutes per side, or until golden and seared. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside. Repeat with remaining chicken.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Remove and discard all but 1 tablespoon of the oil mixture from the pan. Add onions to the pan, reduce heat to medium, season with remaining 1 teaspoon of the salt, and stir to coat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are golden brown, about 5 minutes.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Add the reduced pomegranate juice mixture, ground toasted walnuts, and chicken. Cook on low heat for 1 hour, stirring every 5 minutes to prevent the walnuts from sticking to the bottom of the pan. Check to make sure the sauce is thickened and the chicken is cooked through and knife tender.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Remove from heat and adjust sugar and salt to taste. Serve over grains and garnish with walnuts, pomegranate arils, and parsley.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>By Samira Pardis\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Persian-Style Pomegranate-Walnut Braised Chicken<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":4615,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[741],"tags":[931,930],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.2.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Khoreshe Fesenjan - Special Explorer | Iran&#039;s Tourism Information<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/specialexplorer.com\/?p=4613\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Khoreshe Fesenjan - Special Explorer | Iran&#039;s Tourism Information\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Persian-Style Pomegranate-Walnut Braised Chicken\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/specialexplorer.com\/?p=4613\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Special Explorer | Iran&#039;s Tourism Information\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2018-12-14T10:45:29+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/specialexplorer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/fesenjan-first.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"734\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"446\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Heydarikhah\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Heydarikhah\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/specialexplorer.com\/?p=4613#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/specialexplorer.com\/?p=4613\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Heydarikhah\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/specialexplorer.com\/#\/schema\/person\/97875b2ee69e06f8916f63352e2168a9\"},\"headline\":\"Khoreshe Fesenjan\",\"datePublished\":\"2018-12-14T10:45:29+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2018-12-14T10:45:29+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/specialexplorer.com\/?p=4613\"},\"wordCount\":372,\"commentCount\":112,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/specialexplorer.com\/#organization\"},\"keywords\":[\"Fesenjanstew\",\"Persianstew\"],\"articleSection\":[\"Iranian Foods &amp;
