Sandevich-e Makaroni
One of the nostalgic sandwiches of our childhood in Iran is Sandvich Makaroni. Most people who grew up in Iran will have a memory around enjoying this sandwich filled with Persian-style macaroni.
Sandeviche Tokhme Morgh - Egg Sandwich
Sandeviche Tokhme Morgh or Egg Sandwich is one of the most common and popular sandwiches all over the world. For Iranians my age this sandwich is very nostalgic. Those who grew up in the ‘80s and ‘90s probably remember egg sandwiches in the school buffet, made with Noon Bolki (similar to ciabatta bread).
In this recipe, I show you how to make this delicious yet simple sandwich, in addition to some yummy coleslaw - a classic side dish made with shredded cabbage and a creamy dressing.
Kookoo Bademjan - Eggplant/Aubergine Omelette
Kookooye Bademjan is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed on its own or as a side dish. One of my favourite nostalgic, vegetarian dishes that Maman used to make when I was a child.
Kookoo refers to dishes made of a mixture of ingredients that are then pan-fried, like a frittata. They have eggs as a base ingredient and they can be served warm or at room temperature.
Morgh-o Gharch-o Paneer Sandevich - Chicken Mushroom and Mozzarella Sandwich
Morgho Gharcho Paneer Sandevich is a very easy yet delicious fast food. Back in Iran, there was a sandwich shop I went to quite often. The owner knew my favourite sandwich very well. So as soon as I stepped into the shop he would ask “Same as always?”
If you like crispy, golden-brown chicken and cheese paired with savoury mushrooms, this sandwich is for you.
Kookoo Sabzi - Persian Herb Frittata
Kookoo Sabzi could be described as a Persian Herb Frittata. It’s quick and easy to prepare and makes for a delicious side dish or Persian sandwich ingredient. Kookoo Sabzi and Sabzi Polo ba Maahi are a match made in heaven!
Sosis Bandari - Spicy Sausage Sandwich
Sosis Bandari is a tasty Persian sandwich filling from southern Iran. It’s one of the few Persian dishes that is quite spicy. Of course you can adjust the level of spiciness to your personal liking. But if you ask me, I like my Sosis Bandari with a kick!
