Mirza Ghasemi

  Mirza Ghasemi is a simple, hearty dish originating in northern Iran. The eggplant and tomato are traditionally prepared on an open flame grill to char the skin but a broiler works well also. Fresh garlic gives this dish the magic flavor, but if you are sensitive, reduce the amount to your taste.

Mast-o Khiar – Cucumber Yogurt

  This delightful yogurt and cucumber dip combines the creamy richness of Greek yogurt with the crisp freshness of grated cucumber, accented by aromatic garlic, dill and rose petals.
