Common card · No. 218319

Fesenjān (Persian: فسنجان; also called fesenjoon in Tehrani dialect) is a sweet and sour Iranian stew (a khoresh). The roots of this Persian delicacy trace back to the Sassanid Persia's golden age. It is typically served over rice in the Iranian manner. In Iran, it is made with minced meat (lamb, sheep or beef), meatballs, chicken or duck. Like other khoresh stews served over rice, fesenjān is also common to Iraqi cuisine.In Azerbaijan, where it is called fisincan plov, the stew is made with lamb meatballs instead of poultry. The dish is also eaten in Armenia, Iraq, Georgia, within Parsi communities in India, and also by the Persian diaspora population.
