He made it for me with lamb, then I made it for him with chicken.
Then we got married.

When I met my husband, we were both married to other people.

Our initial conversation revolved around the food and the traditions associated with the holiday I grew up celebrating.
My husband was born in Iran while his parents were teaching at the Tehran American School in the 70s.
I had never heard of the holiday, nor had I tried any of the dishes.
But my first bite of the Lamb Fesenjan is still one Ill never forget.
But Im getting ahead of myself.
First, I had to woo him like he wooed me.
I did what I do best (besides talking): I cooked for him.
He enjoyed them, but I could tell they werent his favorites.
Using bone-in means the chicken doesnt get dry.
Additionally, the dietitian in me loves that you get a hefty dose ofbrain-boosting walnutsas part of the sauce.
