Ingredients
Servings:
| 3 cup |  walnuts |
| 1 unit |  yellow onion (finely chopped) |
| 1 tbsp | olive oil |
| ½ tsp |  turmeric |
| 2 lb |  boneless chicken thighs |
| ⅔ cup |  pomegranate molasses |
| 3 cup | water |
| 2 tbsp |  sugar, if needed |
| 1 tsp | salt |
Steps
- Mix4 minwalnuts finely ground but not oily pasteProcess the walnuts until very fine. Fine particles release oil and thicken the stew; large pieces leave the sauce thin and pebbly.
- Simmer45 minwalnut sauce darkening and visibly oily at edgesSoften onion in oil with turmeric, add ground walnuts and water, and simmer gently. Stir frequently as the sauce thickens so the walnut solids do not scorch on the bottom.
- Braise45 minchicken tender and sauce spoon-coatingStir in pomegranate molasses and chicken and braise gently until tender. The sauce should become dark, glossy and thick enough to cling to the meat rather than run like broth.
- Mix5 minsweet-sour balance tastes roundedTaste only after the sauce has reduced, then add sugar a little at a time if the pomegranate is aggressively sour. Brands vary widely, so final balance is a tasting decision rather than a fixed sugar dose.
