TheJulianmc Persian and Iranian are the same thing. Persia was the ancient Greek name for Iran and it stuck, but people from there call it Iran or "Eranshahr".
Its the best thing ever honestly my favorite dish in the world next to rendang which looks exactly the same. Shitty looking food keep stupid people away
mightylordkuba, see, it's obvious you've never had Fesenjan before; it's a truly outstanding dish, definitely worth trying, and most certainly something special.
It doesn't look bad really.This is a northern iranian dish and the real traditional fesenjan from north looks different..it should have an even consistency and not so grainy like this video..also should have a very dark almost black color(they also add plum mollasses in north which changes the color)..overall the original stew looks good almost like chocolate sause.
I love Farideh's videos! I watch regardless because I love seeing how other people cook, but it would be cool to see some more amazing veggie recipes at some point too
Pro tip my motherinlaw tought me: instead of adding water, slowly add icecubes it will help separate the walnut oil and help with the doodoo look of it 👌👌👌👌
Good presentation but Horrible and disgusting use of "diarrhea" as an .analogy about this fantastic and traditional food. I am sorry but I would really suggest to delete or change this video. Totally insensitive and offensive. I am cooking this dish right now and this woman just about ruined this.
My brit friend used to come over and literally raid the kitchen trying to see if she could find persian food. When she would she would help herself. She was obsessed 🤣🤣🤣
yeah, let's get a show with Farideh and find out about her origins and what's made her her...she's really easy to watch, makes you smile/laugh and that sass...she so sassy and cheeky...it's refreshing! If she's from Iran then I'm guessing she could teach us all quite a bit about good food...and maybe a bit about Iran too...people could do with being educated more on that region!
Sooo in love with you Farideh, I visited my cousin and aunty in Iran last year, and Iran has the most interesting food so far! Defs gonna try this out soon!
This is a great recipe. Thank you. I would like to offer a small correction though to your commentary. The Iranian New Year (Norouz) has nothing to do with ANY religion, least of all with Islam. Norouz is purely an Iranian national Holiday.
I’m watching a series on Hulu and one of the characters made this dish. When she said the name I was like “hmmm, why does that sound familiar? Didn’t that lady from Munchies make that one time...?” So I’m back just to check my sources, lol.
"My parents are not religious but they celebrate nowruz" What do you mean really? Nowruz is based on Zoroastrianism and other iranian old believes before islam, but now it's not a religious celebration!
Well, I made this about 10 minutes ago, and I gotta say, I don't like it. The sour is a bit much (I did sugar it some like the recipe said), but overall it was meh. Pretty bummed.
Excellent job, great recipe, and I think it looks divine, not bad at all, but hey, to each their own right. The smells are amazing and the taste is really unique an incredible. Can be a tad sour for some, so add in a pinch of sugar to balance and also a pinch of cinnamon is so nice. Lastly, don't forget to add in SAFFRON and water, as this really adds to this dish.... Great job. Also love the well-used dutch oven you got there. Nice. ;-)
You should have put the onion into the food processor with walnuts , and it's much better to use semi sweet pomegranate molasses combined with sour cherry plum molasses It will be even more amazing
I've been on the UA-cams for a while and I have to say the munchies community might be one of the worst. If they don't get Matty or Action they cry and complain without hesitation. Bon appetit is a close second with their obsession with brad. all the hosts are great, if all you want is one guy buy their cookbook and Stfu
They really have underplayed Matty's new show though, wait a couple weeks for a 4 minute video that looks like a "highlight" reel. His butter chicken video is a great example. Look at the end and see the amazing spread of food, but we only saw 7 minutes of how to make butter chicken...
Why would you keep saying it looks gross ? That’s not nice. If you don’t repeat that no one would attention. Also if you use the good quality of pomegranate sauce from Iran the fesenjoon would trun into black color. Fesenjoon is my favorite dish and everytime i want to eat it I remember you keep saying that it look gross which i never paid attention before, because it’s black color. 😒
I clicked on this because of the thumbnail just to comment. It looks like the actor is trying to smile at a pile of the unspeakable. I know she knew she understood what she was going into but come on y'all could've set her up better for fucks sake lmao
Funny that some completely atrocious looking foods, taste as amazing as they can. Onions and butter are always fun friends. I appreciate everything in 1 pot. Could I make this in a slow cooker, or would that be cooking for too long?
A slow cooker is definitely not a problem. One might even say the slower its cooked the better it will turn out. The reason being is that the slower and longer it cooks the more time the walnuts have to mature or release their oil into the stew. My grandma used to start the stew in a slow cooker in the morning and we would enjoy it in the afternoon after school! I would strongly recommend cooking it in a slow cooker.
As far as I'm aware, no. I live with a gluten intolerant person as well. The only thing that you should check is the pomegranate molasses, or the pomegranate syrup. There shouldn't be any traces of gluten in it but i'd say take a look at the ingredients on the label since some cheaper manufacturers use thickening agents to "cheat" and cheapen the product (not that it is expensive in the first place). Just take a look at the ingredients label of the pomegranate molasses and if there is no trace of any gluten, you're good go! I really hope you enjoy this magnificent stew ;)
I shall check out the recipe and let you know how it goes. Busting out the slow cooker tomorrow I believe, cashew chicken is a favourite in this house, so that's on the menu.
Yo, can you make Persian/Afghan Spicy chicken soup. It's like diced chicken breast, and you put it on rice. It's spicy and looks almost like tomato soup with chicken in it. It's really good, my friends mom used to make it, and I wanna know the recipe. Thanks G
Im so surprised that this is an Iranian dish, and not a single spice added!? How can this be so tasty with so few ingredients. Could i at least swap some water with som chicken stock for flavour? OR if this is so simple and easy as it seems, i just have to give it a go
For those wondering, you can tell it's a pro level fesenjoon if there's a thin layer of walnut oil on top when it's done.
*pros will see thick layer!*
Also shouldn't have grainy consistency and should look alot darker than this.
"But the real way to eat this, you have to have your Persian rice. Cook that shit for real." omggg haha yasss!!
Pretty cool that this Culinary Director highlights her heritage with the Iranian recipes
Bob Bobly Persian! I think?
TheJulianmc is that a joke?
TheJulianmc Persian and Iranian are the same thing. Persia was the ancient Greek name for Iran and it stuck, but people from there call it Iran or "Eranshahr".
Justin93koch they’re not exactly the same thing, but often used interchangeably. There’s a long ethnic and linguistic background to each word.
Yeah Farideh back at it with the persian recipes. That's where it's at
please do a video on how to cook persian rice with the crispy tahdiq on the bottom. that's the real good good
ua-cam.com/video/sSHqirYaZwk/v-deo.html
I hope this video will help :)
Love this woman
This was so good and she was really entertaining. Love that she’s proud of her Persian culture
Its the best thing ever honestly my favorite dish in the world next to rendang which looks exactly the same.
Shitty looking food keep stupid people away
it is just chicken in syrup with walnuts - nothing special. And it not looks shitty other stews look similar
mightylordkuba, see, it's obvious you've never had Fesenjan before; it's a truly outstanding dish, definitely worth trying, and most certainly something special.
mightylordkuba it’s just lobster and butter. Sometimes a few ingredients combined and cooked well are magic!
LOL@@huskyfluffy

I love Farideh's videos! I watch regardless because I love seeing how other people cook, but it would be cool to see some more amazing veggie recipes at some point too
She did a good job but it really doesn’t look as bad as she makes it out to be it’s like a rich gravy
She was just being extra with that shit...
Pro tip my motherinlaw tought me: instead of adding water, slowly add icecubes it will help separate the walnut oil and help with the doodoo look of it 👌👌👌👌
You likening food to diarrhea isn’t OK.
I made this in culinary class once and remade it at home and now I can’t stop thinking about it. I need to make this asap
"looks like diarrhea..."
"ok, let's not say diarrhea."
*with a manic look*
"Diarrhea!"
yeah thanks for the image
We saw the same video as you..
Give Boyce a break, sometimes there’s a buffering issue fam he’s helping
Good presentation but Horrible and disgusting use of "diarrhea" as an .analogy about this fantastic and traditional food. I am sorry but I would really suggest to delete or change this video. Totally insensitive and offensive. I am cooking this dish right now and this woman just about ruined this.
We see things for what we are. Boyce was mirroring himself on the dish. Fortunately there's a toilet somewhere hosting him.
This is one of my absolute favourite recipes. Growing up with Baha'i parents it always brings back great memories and is a regular in my house.
Weird flex but ok.
“You brought her back”...great personality, so funny 😂🤣... you rule Munchies.
My brit friend used to come over and literally raid the kitchen trying to see if she could find persian food. When she would she would help herself. She was obsessed 🤣🤣🤣
I love videos with Ferideh
You know why I love you because they told you not to say it looked like diarrhea and you did it anyway.... You are so real and awesome
This was a really sweet video, I loved hearing about your family and the food they share
Do you guys remember FUEL series? I wish they could bring it back.
Haha damn. This is a combination of people who either have a crush on the host or hate her guts.
this is how most male posters react to women
CurseMoldyPeaches tfw you’re right but you’ll get downvotes because UA-cam is full of angry 13 year old boys
Pretty much whenever a munchies guest is a woman
she’s cool and makes me want to cook
My favorite Persian dish ❤❤❤
yeah, let's get a show with Farideh and find out about her origins and what's made her her...she's really easy to watch, makes you smile/laugh and that sass...she so sassy and cheeky...it's refreshing! If she's from Iran then I'm guessing she could teach us all quite a bit about good food...and maybe a bit about Iran too...people could do with being educated more on that region!
if you didnt say anything about the looks of the dish i probably wouldnt have thought about it anyway
I think Fesenjoon is really beautiful! Maybe because I love the taste!
Farideh is mah lifeeeee!! She's so spunky
She is adorable. I wish I had a friend like her.
Man, this got some straight up 🇲🇽 Mole vibes!
SO GLAD TO SEE NEW VIDEO OF FARIDEH!!! SHE IS SOO FUNNY !
Farideh's Videos are my fav ty Munchies
That's a well-loved casserole
Sooo in love with you Farideh, I visited my cousin and aunty in Iran last year, and Iran has the most interesting food so far! Defs gonna try this out soon!
I come here for Farideh
Excellent. Thank you.
Cant even imagine what that would taste like, I've gotta try some now.
Biggest fan from Australia
This looks really different than anything I know. But i really want to try it. It looks delicious!
gonna try this fo'sho
I want to try this do badly.
Think I'm gonna have to hit up an Iranian restaurant round me at some point.
Thanks Munchies!
Farideh, nice job, great presentation. Thanks for sharing.
I can't handle how many times you say that it is ugly.
Zero times or once would have been enough.
This is a great recipe. Thank you. I would like to offer a small correction though to your commentary. The Iranian New Year (Norouz) has nothing to do with ANY religion, least of all with Islam. Norouz is purely an Iranian national Holiday.
That doesn’t look bad at all! 😍
*waiting for all the Iranians to come along and tell us she's doing it wrong*
JAYSON shes doing it wrong.
TheMATROCKS you must be Italian
The way she pronounces Farsi words is so cringe
Zareshk polo next episode please. People need to see all the bangers
Like like LIIIKE damn I can only hit it once! This is my favorite Persian dish, my dad used to make it for me too.
Gonna try this with my nice and toasted nuts. Awesome cooking as always, Farideh!
Looks good, reminds me of a Mexican mole sauce with chicken
Don't worry. Everyone likes her. The ones who act like they don't? They can't handle a woman who talks back.
Mellowcanuck33 facts!
this reminds me of chicken adobo can't wait to try it!
Farideh is the friend I wish I had.
I’m watching a series on Hulu and one of the characters made this dish. When she said the name I was like “hmmm, why does that sound familiar? Didn’t that lady from Munchies make that one time...?” So I’m back just to check my sources, lol.
"My parents are not religious but they celebrate nowruz"
What do you mean really? Nowruz is based on Zoroastrianism and other iranian old believes before islam, but now it's not a religious celebration!
NEED a food processor? How they do it in Iran back in the day?
anokajdm what!?
anokajdm Probably they would use a mortar and pestle, but they probably think suggesting people have and/or should use one is a little too much.
1:18
My grandmother used a round wide wooden plate and a stone to really squash onions and walnuts..I don't know what the utensil is called in English
Hmm looks appetising
Well, I made this about 10 minutes ago, and I gotta say, I don't like it. The sour is a bit much (I did sugar it some like the recipe said), but overall it was meh. Pretty bummed.
Looks great!
It looks like curry, idc i think it looks goooood. I love iranian flavors
Excellent job, great recipe, and I think it looks divine, not bad at all, but hey, to each their own right. The smells are amazing and the taste is really unique an incredible. Can be a tad sour for some, so add in a pinch of sugar to balance and also a pinch of cinnamon is so nice. Lastly, don't forget to add in SAFFRON and water, as this really adds to this dish.... Great job. Also love the well-used dutch oven you got there. Nice. ;-)
Love Persian food so much!! Can you do Turkish recipes
I use wheat meat, black pepper, cardamom and tumeric along with hing/asafoetida because I am vegan
Great video and enjoyed the host. Keep up the good work.
Looks good
Doesn't look that bad, kinda looks like japanese curry 😋
Othman Sefrioui more like hayashi rice
Tastes absolutely nothing like it though hahaha
You should have put the onion into the food processor with walnuts , and it's much better to use semi sweet pomegranate molasses combined with sour cherry plum molasses
It will be even more amazing
This dish is cooked from duck traditionaly. Also, why you didn't add zafron?
Use smen for thsi recip it's fermented butter it goes vbery well with it
She missed the turmeric in the onion and saffron at the end ...
Holey Hell diariaha cha cha cha! I love how this recipe starts 😂 Looks good though. I'll give it a try. Thank you!
This looks great. Could you do Tahchin next?
That pot looks like something out of the movie Saw
Tried to make this dish. Was wondering if the walnut crumbs are suppose to completely dissolve or is it suppose to be floating atop the stew
Khoshmazast

Oh, I don't see scat, I see a wonderful walnut wooden hue, like a rich whiskey or writer's desk.
Yo she’s honestly so fucking cute goddam
Can you sub macadamia nuts for walnuts? I only ask because I like asking stupid questions.
Came here for farideh, but the trolls kept me scrolling down
Nice video! Is keep it Canada coming back?
My siblings and I used to call this chocolate polo
Why would you keep saying it looks gross ? That’s not nice. If you don’t repeat that no one would attention. Also if you use the good quality of pomegranate sauce from Iran the fesenjoon would trun into black color. Fesenjoon is my favorite dish and everytime i want to eat it I remember you keep saying that it look gross which i never paid attention before, because it’s black color. 😒
Can I replace the walnuts with another type of nut? I'm highly allergic to walnuts but I really want to try this dish :/
can you hit it with some scallions for garnish, flavor at the end?
Brandon Iwabo scalion does not go well with this dish.
what about green onion or syboes?
Noooo
Only use pomegranate seeds or walnuts for garnish anything else will ruin the flavour
same color going in and coming out! why not?
She’s beautiful 😍
“Doo doo khoresh” LOL
Well this video explains the diarrhea tweet. I love this woman. 🤣
Khoresh-e... ?
THIS IS DOO-DOO, BABY!
200 dolar knife just to cut butter? i love u lady
way better than your "ghorme sabzi" try ; ) Keep itt up Farideh xoxo
How -To Make:
Khornate Slaughter
Does pomegranate paste still work instead of molasses?

Thank you for that.
I live with at least one gluten free person, is there anything I'd need to change?

I shall check out the recipe and let you know how it goes. Busting out the slow cooker tomorrow I believe, cashew chicken is a favourite in this house, so that's on the menu.
I use a pan to fry and cook down everything. Then add it to the slow cooker for 8hrs. It's a game changer!
Yo, can you make Persian/Afghan Spicy chicken soup. It's like diced chicken breast, and you put it on rice. It's spicy and looks almost like tomato soup with chicken in it. It's really good, my friends mom used to make it, and I wanna know the recipe. Thanks G
If I should ever stumble upon pomegranate molasses I'm definitely going to make this!! But I highly doubt I will to be honest :(
