Dinner

Well tonight, after feeling unwell for a while, decided to cook something to awaken my senses and give me some energy. I was so inspired by the recipes in "Pomegranate Soup" that I cooked two of the dishes mentioned in the novel. The first is called Fasenjoon which is a Persian chicken stew with walnut and pomegranate sauce, served with chelow - rice cooked in the Persian style.

I have to say that for a first attempt, it was very tasty. I think I will try a different recipe next time as I think I would like a more subtle taste of walnuts. I think I did get the sweet (sugar) and sour (pomegranate syrup) balanced in the stew.

I am not sure what I am going to make for dinner tomorrow night. Possibly another chicken dish, but something from another part of the world - maybe Lebanese, Greek or Morrocan. Am really engaged in the Middle Eastern / Mediterranean dishes at present. Last month I couldn't cook enough Thai, Chinese or Japanese.
