This is a Persian dish known as isfanakh patera. Serve with sour cream or yogurt if desired.

Persian Food/ Persian Rice

I believe I've posted a few fool-proof methods for cooking perfect rice, but this Persian version takes the grand prize, and it's not even close for second. The beauty of this method is that it doesn't rely on any specific measurements, or even exact times. This will make some of you very nervous, but just go with it.

Persian Food / Persian Cucumber Yogurt (Maast-o Khiar)

This cool and healthy dip can be served along side rice and meat, or simply with bread. No Persian meal is complete without Maast-o khiar! This dish is best if refrigerated for a few hours, but if you are strapped for time feel free to serve after mixing. Don't be afraid to get creative! Try adding spinach, raisins, or walnuts. Other herbs could be used as well (i.e. mint, tarragon, oregano). More cucumbers, less shallots...it's your call! Enjoy!

Persian food/ Khoresht Fesenjaan (Chicken with Pomegranate Sauce)

This is a well-known Persian dish of chicken with a pomegranate and walnut sauce. Khoresht Fesenjan should be served with white rice.

Persin Food / Ginger Sekanjabin

Sekanjabin (sometimes spelled sekanjubin or sekanjamin, among others) is a refreshing Persian drink, sometimes even prepared for medicinal purposes. Earliest references to this concoction date from the 10th century AD. The syrup keeps almost indefinitely without refrigeration, and the drink is particularly tasty with fruits. Enjoy!

Persian Food / Sabzi Polo (Herb Rice with Fava Beans)

This is a Persian dish which is delicious. It will taste much better if you use fresh herbs. It also goes very well with either fish or chicken. Hope you like it.

Iranian Candy Recipe / Sohan-e Qom – Persian Saffron Brittle

This recipe for Sohan-e Qom is very special – it’s a unique candy from the city of Qom, just southwest of Tehran. It is a buttery brittle studded with pistachios and flavored heavily with saffron – whose earthy aroma and rich color is unmistakably beautiful. Its texture is just the right amount of crumbly from the butter and satisfyingly crunchy from the nuts. What I’m saying is, Sohan candy is deliciously addictive – the perfect sweet to eat with tea – all you need is a few nibbles but I dare you to resist eating the entire thing

Iranian Candy recipe / Toot Candy

Toot candy is a Persian traditional candy usually made around the New Year or any special celebration. Toot Candy is sweet and delicious, but don't take to much of it since it is high in sugar.
