Wow, I can't believe the uproar about a recipe. Looks like a good one though!
Lamb
I don't think he's saying the dish is British. He's saying it's a twist on the old British beef stew, as in traditionally many British people love a good stew and this is a different version which makes it more interesting and expands their horizons!
Please give credit where credit is due. The Persian culniary tradition goes back thousands of years, even Alexander the Great (and his hoarding army of Macedonian/Greek invaders) were amazed at Persia's culinary tradition as opposed what was and still remains so-called Greek food which is essentially peasant food. Persia (modern Iran) has some of the most excellent pomegranets in the world, far larger than the Turkish or Spanish varieties, with blood red juice. I have never eaten promegranets anywhere that have the same quality as the Iranain ones. Persians (modern Iranians) have been using this fruit for millenia in food and drinks, long before it became a Western fad to have it as a drink in supermarkets ! My grandfather was a surgeon and a herbalist, like other Eastern medics and herbalists he knew about the medicinal quality of pomegranets long before you could buy a sub-standard juice in the shops over here in the West. Like apricots, peaches and around 80 varieties of grapes (yes "Shiraz" wine is named after a beautiful city in Iran famous for its grapes - it's not in Australia !!) , pomegrantes are indigenous to Iran. It's true that lamb and fruit make and an incredible combination, but it isn't a British invention ! Look up Persian lamb with apricots or apples and other traditional dishes such as Fesenjun (pomegrantes and walnuts) and you will see that the Persians have been cooking lamb with fruit for 1000's of years !<br /> <br /> Please read Margret Shaida (The Legendary Cuisine of Persia by Margaret Shaida) and other authentic Persian receipe books (many are in English) if you wish to be able to cook Fesenjun or other authentic Persian food. Jamie Olivier is not the only food "expert" in the world !
PERSIAN!!!!!!
i love it
Definitely a tribute to the classic Persian fesenjun, but really folks, it isn't truely Persian unless the recipe includes a mountain of Turmeric!
P.S I would die a happy woman after a really good and tangy fesenjun!
Dear Jamie,i love your recipies but this one looks absolutely gorgeous! Thank you so much for sharing it! Keep up the good work :)
Jamie, nice try! pls if u could tell me since when pomegranate enterd and counted as a "british" cooking ingerdient?? I was expecting you as a food lover and a great chef who admire different ideas from around the world to be more specified and .. this recipe is clearly an adoption of an acient persian recipe called: Fesenjan, an stew made of meat( lamb or chicken and pomegranate sauce)
I wa always wondering why you never talk about Persian foods which are mothetr of many many adopted recipes these days that selling to people as a new ceative ideas!
It would be so nice if you do a reseach and share the history of your recipies with your fans, as you do it with your italian favorites.
plus I recommended working on Persian food for you, you can get more to sell .
after all I really like you, you are a great young man, good luck.
This is amazingly good! I've nearly really made stews much before and so pleased with results I'm back to try something else...
this dish is very similar to fesenjoon (a persian dish)...
Very nice. Made lamb even more interesting than it already is.
please describe me the ingredients pomegranate and if any alternative for that.and please give me some easy side dishes recipe
Great, great, great!!! It has a wonderful and delighted taste! It was a very first time I cooked the lamb for my family. All of us absoluterly loved it. Thanks a lot. Now I know how to cook lamb.
yes, this IS a Persian dish!
This is a fantastic use for lamb- I'm always looking for new recipies which use lamb- great for a cold day!
Just wanted to agree that the pomegranate and walnut combination certainly is of persian origin - a great tasting dish :)
Which book has the recipe for the Lamb with pomegranate in it.
This is a traditional Persian or Iranian recipe that can use chicken, duck or lamb- Khoresht-e-Fesenjan. Just thought since you credited the Moroccans on theirs, that the Persians should also be!
Please send me the recipe for sausage and cherry tomatoes.
Thank You
