Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 ½ pounds chicken legs, cut up, 1 white onion, thinly sliced, ½ pound walnuts, toasted and finely ground in a food processor, 1 teaspoon salt, 4 cups pomegranate juice, ½ teaspoon cardamom (Optional), 2 tablespoons sugar (Optional)
Instructions
Warm olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté chicken and onions for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add pureed walnuts, salt, pomegranate juice, and cardamom, then bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 1/2 hours. If the sauce becomes too thick, stir in 1/4 cup warm water. Finally, mix in sugar, adjust the seasoning, and simmer for an additional 30 minutes.
