Koofteh Nokhodchi - Chickpea Meatballs in Tomato Sauce with Black Lemons
Koofteh Nokhodchi are flavour-packed Chickpea Meatballs in Tomato Sauce with Black Lemons. This is a beautiful Persian recipe and I created my version inspired by OPIHR Gin’s Black Lemon Edition.
There are many different meatball recipes in Persian and Middle Eastern cuisine. Each region in Iran has their own recipe, involving completely different ingredients and spices. This particular one comes from Esfahan and can be served with rice or with bread, as I did in this instance.
Dolmeh Bademjan - Persian Stuffed Aubergines
Dolmeh Bademjan are Persian stuffed aubergines/eggplants. This dish is popular in many different countries and each has its own version. In this recipe I show you my take on the Persian version of this tasty, flavourful dish.
Dolmeh Bademjan can easily be made vegetarian by replacing the meat with more rice and yellow split peas.
