These wings are inspired by fesenjan (aka fesenjoon), a northern Iranian stew often served with tahdig or saffron rice.

We’re using the same ingredients—pomegranate molasses, black pepper, cinamon, nutmeg, and walnuts—with a different technique, landing a totally new flavor profile. Here the pomegranate molasses deeply caramelizes, while the black pepper really punches.

If you can’t find pomegranate molasses, you can make your own by simmering pomegranate juice until it becomes thick like honey.
