In light of Labor’s Day coming up this weekend I thought I would do a post about some delish Persian dishes that can be added to your feast.
Today I will cover some appetizers and side dishes.
Borani Esfanaj! A healthy dip made with yogurt and spinach.
Kashkeh Bademjan: An exotic blend of eggplant, whey, and saffron.

Borani Bademjan: A fabulous dip made with yogurt and grilled eggplants

All of the above dips can be served with delicious homemade pita chips or any of your favorite Persian breads!

The ever so popular Brie en Croûte with pistachios & almonds
Kuku dishes are always popular too! How about a Lima Bean & Dill Kuku?

Sanam, everything looks so refreshing. Takes me back to your Persian Cooking Demo at Archipelago Hawaii.. The fresh herbs, the cucumber, mint, yogurt was a delight. Miss your smile and exsquisite knowledge of your culture. Look forward to your return to Maui…
