Fesenjan Pomegranate Walnut Simmer Sauce

Fesenjan (pronounced fess-en-joon) is a tangy Iranian sauce made from pomegranates and walnuts. Traditionally slow-cooked for hours and often saved for special occasions. With this jar, you get all the depth and comfort of the original with no long simmer required. This sauce has been a labor of love to bring to life. Fesenjan is a dish I grew up eating, one that tastes best after its flavors have time to mellow and mingle. Its bright pomegranate tang, gentle sweetness, and warming notes of cinnamon and turmeric make it a perfect companion for fall and winter cooking, and a beautiful introduction to Persian cuisine for anyone new to it. Rich, complex, and naturally vegan, our Pomegranate Walnut Simmer Sauce is versatile enough for weeknight meals yet special enough for entertaining. Traditionally served with chicken, it’s equally flavorful with roasted vegetables, beans, or stewed squash. Spoon it over rice, finish with fresh pomegranate seeds, and you’ve got a true showstopper.
