Now that we are only a few days away from the 31st, have you thought about what you are going to make for New Year’s Eve and/or Day? I thought I would suggest some fun Persian recipes for you!!!

Let’s start with some impressive appetizers:

Talking about FANCY!!! Last New Year’s Eve I posted about how Persians eat Caviar!

No Persian party should ever be denied a Herb & Feta Cheese Platter!

Speaking of Feta cheese, how about these really yummy Cucumber, Feta, & Walnut bites??!!

Brie en Croûte!! Do I  need to say more??!!

You can’t ever go wrong with a Kalbas Platter!!

Dolmeh or Stuffed Grape Leaves are always a great appetizer option too!!

Who can resist Vol-au-vent??

From recent postings: Date Stuffed with Feta Cheese

Beet and Yogurt Hor d’oeuvre

Continuing with some salads!

Everyone loves Salad Shirazi!!

Holidays Season 2010 most favorite Salad: Festive Salad with Pomegranate Vinaigrette

Another head turner: Avocado Salad with Saffron Balsamic

Some main dish ideas:

In Persian culture noodles or reshteh are a must on the table!! Asheh Reshteh

And for another reshteh option there is always the bright and delish Persian Noodle Soup!!

Reshteh Polow is so good!!

Sabzi Polow is another must when celebrating a new year too!

Let’s not forget about Gigot!! A good roast is always a good thing!!!

Happy cooking AND eating!!!
