DUCK FESENJAN



Duck Fesenjan image

A savory stew featuring duck, pomegranate, and walnuts, which is every bit as exotic as it sounds. This is my interpretation of the ancient classic. I'm assuming like most similar recipes, every household has their own version, and this kind of thing can easily be tailored to your tastes.

Time 3h30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 legs duck
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
¼ cup water, or as needed
3 tablespoons olive oil, or more to taste
2 cups diced yellow onion
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
6 cups chicken broth, or more as needed
⅔ cup pomegranate molasses
¼ cup honey
3 cups walnut halves

Steps:

  • Season duck legs all over with salt and black pepper.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over high heat. Place duck legs, skin-side down, in hot oil and cook until browned, 2 to 5 minutes; turn and cook until browned on the other side, 2 to 4 minutes more. Transfer legs to a plate; pour rendered duck fat into a bowl.
  • Pour water into the skillet and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Remove from heat.
  • Heat about 2 tablespoons duck fat and olive oil in Dutch oven medium heat. Cook and stir onion in hot oil and fat until golden brown, 7 to 10 minutes. Add turmeric, cinnamon, nutmeg; cook and stir until fragrant, 1 minute.
  • Pour chicken broth, pomegranate molasses, honey, and reserved water mixture from the skillet into onions; bring to a simmer.
  • Grind walnuts to a fine powder in a food processor.
  • Cook and stir walnuts in a skillet over medium heat until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir walnuts into broth mixture; place duck legs in broth to cover in broth. Reduce heat and simmer until duck legs are tender, 3 to 4 hours. Transfer duck to a serving dish.
  • Bring broth mixture to a boil; cook until reduced and desired sauce consistency is reached. Season with salt. Ladle sauce over duck legs.

FESENJAN - DUCK WITH POMEGRANATE & WALNUT SAUCE



Fesenjan - Duck With Pomegranate & Walnut Sauce image

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.

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons sunflower oil
4 duck breasts, skinned and scored
1 large onion, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
salt & freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons pomegranate molasses
150 ml chicken stock
75 g walnuts, finely chopped
2 -3 teaspoons sugar (to taste)

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.

  • Preparing Fesenjan with duck is actually not very different than preparing this stew with chicken meat. Here, first you need to skin the duck and wash it well (the skinning is optional). Then, season the duck with some salt, black pepper, turmeric, and fry it in a suitable pan.
  • Now dice the onion and stir-fry it in another pot on a gentle heat for a short while. Crush or grind the walnuts, add them to the pot too and continue stirring for 3 to 4 minutes and add some turmeric and black pepper.
  • Now add the 4 glasses of water and let the ingredients cook slowly on a gentle heat for an hour. You can add a few ice cubes in this step to the stew fore a better taste and look. After this time, put the fried duck in the pot and wait for another 2 hours.
  • Since the duck needs more time to be cooked, add the pomegranate sauce 30 minutes before putting out the flame with saffron.
