Ghalieh Meygoo -Persian Shrimp in a Tamarind and Cilantro Sauce is a traditional dish from Chuzestan in southern Iran on the Persian Gulf and a kind of curry with shrimp, tamarind, tomato paste, fresh cilantro, fenugreek leaves, garlic, and lots of aromatic spices. Sometimes Persian cooks add curry and chili powder to the dish.
Shirini Keshmeshi are crinkled raisin cookies and taste buttery, are chewy on the inside and crispy on the outside and absolutely my favorite for persian Norouz. For me Shirini Keshmeshi must have crinckles on top and golden edges. Therefore I made them with butter, flour, powdered sugar (creates their cracked appearance), a little bit oil, an egg, vanilla extract and they are loaded with raisins for a fine texture, sweetness and an irresistible chewing experience.
2016 is the year of pulses as they play a major role to sustainablitiy. That`s why I choosed the chickpeas for this post. And what ist the most favorite recipe with chickpeas? Chickpeas + Tahini = Hummus, simple and tasty. Of course HUMMUS.
I love wraps ♥ You can fill them with leftovers and pretty much anything. The preparation of my Chicken Wraps persian style is really easy. This recipe is a Persian way to fill your wrap. It is filled with chicken breasts, pomegranate molasses and syrup, young rucola leaves, baby spinach, red leaf beet and spiced with Sumac, a sour lemon-like taste, which has a kind of fruity-tangy aroma. Serve with a mint yoghurt sauce and homemade lavash Bread. In Persia we usually fill our wrap with sheep cheese, Walnuts and fresh herbs as peppermint, basil, parsley, cilantro and spring onions, which we call Sabzi Khordan. I hope you already feel like you are in orient with this spicy recipe. Have fun making this dish.
This crunchy Persian Rosette Pastry – Nan Panjereeh is served in Persia typically at Persian New Year (Nouroz) or Ramadan.
