Halfway through the cooking time, add the lime juice to taste. | 9. The sauce will thicken and darken during this cooking time, and the oil will begin to render out of the walnuts. | 10. Add water or stock if necessary to prevent the sauce from thickening too much and scorching. | 11. Serve with plain white rice. | 12. NOTES Fesenjan is special occasion food in Iran. | 13.
