What it is
A rich and flavorful stew featuring chicken (or sometimes duck) cooked in a thick sauce made from ground walnuts and pomegranate molasses. The molasses is the main carb risk; request minimal or no added sugar and a less sweet version.
Key ingredients
Chicken pieces, walnuts, pomegranate molasses (reduced amount), onion, salt, black pepper, cooking oil/water.
If you order it anyway
Crucially, ask for minimal or no added sugar in the pomegranate sauce. Request a 'less sweet' version if possible. Confirm no flour or thickeners are used. Ensure no rice is served.
Watch out for
Pomegranate molasses (high in natural sugars), added sugar in the sauce (significant risk), served with rice (omit).
