It s kind of weird. I mean i have made fesenjoon before, cuz i am from Persia and learnt it from my mom. but this recepie? i am not sure if you can call it fesenjoon, except for using pomegranate paste as an ingredient..., but i have a feeling as a totally different version it might actually turn out delicious!
Fesenjoon Sauce
Pomegranate concentrate, a tart, brownish syrup sometimes labeled pomegranate molasses, is made from the fruit's juice but, unlike most concentrates, cannot be reconstituted with water. A staple in Middle Eastern cuisines, pomegranate concentrate is used in meat marinades and fesenjoon, a dip or meat condiment. Try fesenjoon as a dunk for carrots, cucumbers, and pocket bread; spread it in chicken sandwiches; or serve with roast leg of lamb.
