This is a recipe of my own, using flavor combinations from Iran and west-central Asia (not flavored with actual Persians, as the title might seem to suggest). Pomegranate syrup is available in Middle Eastern stores; there is also a product sold by Trader Joe's called Pomegranate Glaze which would work, too. If you feel that the syrup is too tart, you could add a tiny amount of sugar to smooth it out a bit. Walnut oil could also be substituted for the olive oil.
