Steps:
- Toast the walnuts in a 350 degree oven on a baking sheet until fragrant, 8-10 minutes. Allow to cool slightly. Transfer to a food processor fitted with the metal blade and grind until fine crumbs are formed.
- In a large pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the chicken with 1 teaspoon sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Add as much chicken as can fit in the pan in one layer without overcrowding. Cook chicken until browned on both sides, but not cooked through. Transfer the browned chicken to a plate and repeat with remaining chicken, if there is any.
- Add the chopped onions to the pan and sauté until tender and translucent, about 6 minutes.
- Stir in the reserved ground walnuts, stock and browned chicken pieces. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, lower heat and simmer covered for 20-30 minutes.
- Stir in the pomegranate molasses, maple syrup, cinnamon, turmeric and 1 teaspoon of salt. Simmer covered for another hour,* stirring occasionally until the chicken is tender and the sauce is thickened.
- Give the stew a good stir to incorporate any oil at the top and taste for seasoning. Serve over rice and garnish if desired with pomegranate seeds and parsley.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Stir in sliced onions; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low, and continue cooking and stirring until the onion is very tender and dark brown, 15 to 20 minutes more.
- Raise heat to medium-high. Add chicken pieces, and fry until lightly browned on the outside. Pour in the water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 30 minutes, adding more water if necessary to keep the mixture from drying out.
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (65 degrees C).
- Combine the walnuts and pomegranate juice in the container of a blender or food processor. Process into liquid. (This can be done in small batches if necessary.) Add walnut-pomegranate mixture to the simmering chicken. Season with cardamom, cinnamon, saffron powder, and salt. Stir in the cubed squash. Transfer the entire mixture to a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Bake, loosely covered, for 2 1/2 hours in the preheated oven. Serve with white rice.

FESENJAN - DUCK WITH POMEGRANATE & WALNUT SAUCE
This duck recipe is adapted from Claudia Roden's "The Book of Jewish Food." I found it on another site and wanted to share, but haven't tried it yet. As to the comment that it is Iranian, not Jewish: in stating it was Jewish I merely quoted the recipe source; but both groups originated in the same area, so it makes sense that both would have their own version of many similar dishes. There's an Iranian Fesenjan recipe here and it uses different seasonings.

Steps:
- Gently fry the duck breasts in oil, skin side down for 5-10 minutes, until they release their fat. Add the onion, garlic and salt and pepper. Fry until onion is soft, stirring occasionally. Once the skin has browned, turn the heat up and brown the flesh side. Remove the duck from the pan and leave in a warm place.
- Pour the duck fat from the onions and reserve fat for another use. Add the pomegranate molasses, chicken stock, walnuts and a little sugar to taste. Stir well, bring to a simmer then return the duck to the pan. Continue cooking until the duck is medium rare. Rest the duck for 5 minutes while you reduce the liquid to sauce consistency.
