Maman Jamileh’s Persian Omelette
I thought, I’d share a very special recipe with you today: My grandmother’s Persian Omelette recipe. It’s very dear to my heart, because I have so many beautiful memories of my nan Maman Jamileh cooking this for me. She still cooks it and it tastes as amazing as ever!
This dish can be a total lifesaver, because it doesn’t just make the perfect breakfast on a lazy Sunday, but also serves as a quick lunch or dinner. It tastes fantastic any time of the day!
Mirza Ghasemi - Persian Grilled Smoked Eggplant with Tomatoes and Eggs
Mirza Ghasemi is a flavourful Persian aubergines/eggplant dip from northern Iran. If you tried my previous Mirza Ghasemi recipe, I encourage you to give this one a go as well, whether you want to serve it with real or vegan eggs.
In this recipe the smoked aubergines are at the forefront of the dish, not being overpowered by the tomatoes, eggs or any other flavours. I promise you, it tastes like a piece of heaven.
Kashke Bademjan – Persian Aubergine Dip
Kashke Bademjan is a popular Persian aubergine dip, that is usually served as an appetiser!
It is made of eggplants, or aubergines as we call them here in the UK, garlic, onions and kashk. Kashk is made of drained yogurt and has a distinct flavour, that’s quintessential for Kashke Bademjoon. You can serve this mouthwatering dip with any bread you like, for example Persian Lavash or Taftoon.
