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.

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

Not everyone is enchanted by the smell of cabbage, but they might change their mind if they give this Shirazi dish a try.

Served with ‘pigeon head’ meatballs (named for their size), it can also be made vegetarian-friendly by skipping them altogether.
