Fesenjan! The 2500 years old recipe
Fesenjan is a kind of Persian stew prepared with poultry, which could be duck or chicken with a thick sauce of walnuts and pomegranates. Fesenjan originated in the province of Gilan bordering the Caspian Sea, which was known for its wild duck population. The dish was much favored during the fall season in Persia when the pomegranates matured. Fesenjan was also considered to be a Persian Rosh Hosanna dish. Iran has one of the oldest known Jewish communities, going back over 2,500 years to when Jews fled the land of Israel after the destruction of the First Temple.

Persian cuisine is ancient, varied and cosmopolitan. Eating habits and products from ancient Greece, Rome and many Asian and Mediterranean cultures have influenced and are affected by this unique cuisine.
There are many dishes that are shared by both Iranians and Turks to the extent that it is hard to say who has borrowed what and from where. The archives at the major ancient Persian cities contain names of many food products, ingredients, beverages, herbs, spices and wine, an important ceremonial and religious drink.
