Shirini Ghandi Qazvin – Simple Persian Sugar Cookies

Today, I’m opening the fifth door of the Culinary Advent Calendar from 1x umrühren bitte, aka Kochtopf.me, and behind it is a sweet treat from Iran: Shirini Ghandi Qazvin – Simple Persian Sugar Cookies (شیرینی قزوین) or Nan-e Ghandi (نون قندی). These little cookies are so delicate they practically melt in your mouth, and they’re super easy to whip up. You only need a handful of ingredients: flour, powdered sugar, shortening or coconut fat (the original is made with Ghee), and cardamom. It’s this simplicity that makes them special. Cardamom gives them a unique flavor, but if you’re not into that, they’re just as tasty with a splash of vanilla extract. The mix of cardamom scent and the gentle sweetness makes them stand out. The cool thing? You don’t have to let the dough rise, rest, or chill. So, give the recipe for these yummy Shirini Ghandi a try and see how they turn out! Watch my preparation video on Instagram

Mahi Kabab ba Somagh – Sumac Roasted Fish

Sometimes, a single scent or bite can awaken cherished memories. For me, it’s the irresistible aroma of Mahi Kabab ba Somagh – Sumac Roasted Fish that instantly transports me back to the shores of the Caspian Sea (Shomal). Our summer holidays were filled with long days by the water, often ending in cozy seaside huts. There, we enjoyed “Mahi-e Kababi” – freshly caught whole fish, grilled right before our eyes and served with crusty bread, sumac onions, and a squeeze of lemon. Today, I recreate that flavor in my kitchen – effortlessly and in no time. Using my contact grill, I can prepare Mahi Kabab ba Somagh – Sumac Roasted Fish – in just 10 minutes.
