Fesenjān is a Persian stew flavored with pomegranate molasses and ground walnuts. Traditionally made with eggplant and poultry, this is my plant-based take on the Persian classic.
No chicken of course and I swapped the eggplant for a mix of veggies I thought would suit this dish. And guess what we absolutely loved it! Definitely a keeper, so I hope you love this one too.

This week’s ingredient of Hive’s Top Chef contest is LEEK. Though a classic fesenjān doesn’t contain any leeks, they were a lovely and yummy addition to the dish.
As a member of the onion family leeks have a pretty strong, but beautiful flavor. They are low in calories but high in nutrients, particularly magnesium and vitamins A, C, and K. Furthermore, they are a good source of dietary fiber, copper, vitamin B6, iron, and folate.
