What a unique and nuturitious recipe! I love how you take ingredients that most wouldn't think to combine and turn them into delicious dishes! That sounds like something I would LOVE!

I make a basic Thai peanut butter and coconut milk sauce that I use all the time with stir-fries, noodles, and rice. Your picture is scrumptious and is giving me a hankering for some pb and pom stew tonight! I’m crazy about peanut butter in savory dishes.

Sounds very different & delicious! After you cook the onions and brown the turkey do you think it would be ok to put in a crock-pot for a few hours? <br/><br/>Lisa :) Well, guess what I’m having for Sunday dinner!

In fact, there aren't very many dishes that incorporate turmeric that I can recall. This, of course, if you are talking about authentic Persian cuisine, not something a random restaurant or recipe made up. We use a fairly large variety of spices in our dishes. If I were to name just one, that would be saffron, especially as a garnish or topping for the rice, "polo", that is always served with stews, "khoresht". The aroma, taste, and color are unbeatable!<br/><br/>As for "khoresht-e-fesenjan", you could certainly use duck, but it is not essential for the recipe. I think it is more of an old-fashioned thing. My grandmother -- a fantastic cook -- always made hers with chicken, though.<br/><br/>All this said, it was very interesting to see a variation of the dish featured in your blog! Made me homesick for my mom's food. :-) I am actually Persian and NO WAY is turmeric our “main spice”!!! In fact, there aren’t very many dishes that incorporate turmeric that I can recall.

chou, but why is it that girl’s take the LARGEST bites when it’s not their food? Normally she eats small bites like a mouse…I don’t get it.
