Saffron, Sumac & Co. – What’s Inside My Persian Pantry

Saffron, Sumac & Co. – What’s Inside My Persian Pantry

*Not sponsored. This post mentions brands and a shop I love* Do you want to bring the flavors of Persia into your own kitchen? Picture this: the dreamy scent of saffron rice drifts through your home. Rose water tickles your nose. Pomegranate molasses gives your dish a deep, fruity tang. That’s what a well-stocked Persian pantry gives you. With the right must-have ingredients, you can cook authentic Persian dishes, whether for a cozy dinner or a festive feast. I have known this magic since I was little. My grandmother kept her treasures in small jars and cloth bags, each with a handwritten label. To me, it was a treasure chamber full of scents. Today, I carry it on in my own kitchen. Come along. I’ll show you the ingredients that never run out in my kitchen.

Colorful Tomato & Pomegranate Salad (Fresh, Sweet & Crunchy!)

Colorful Tomato & Pomegranate Salad (Fresh, Sweet & Crunchy!)

Today, I’m sharing one of my absolute favorite summer dishes with you: a Colorful Tomato & Pomegranate Salad (Fresh, Sweet & Crunchy!), fresh mint, and crisp onions. To bring out all those amazing flavors, I dress it with high-quality olive oil, rich pomegranate balsam, freshly squeezed lemon juice, Flor de Sal, and a pinch of lemon pepper. When it comes to tomatoes, I love them all! Big, small, or bursting with flavor, whether they are bright red, golden yellow, deep purple, or vibrant orange. But heirloom tomatoes hold a truly special place in my heart. For this recipe, I brought together every variety I could find. Some I grew from seeds myself, and others I picked up at the local farmer’s market. Right now, tomatoes are at their absolute peak season. They’re juicy, naturally sweet, and have just the right touch of refreshing acidity. Watch my preparation on Instagram
