Fereni
Fereni is a Persian pudding dessert that people make for various occasions. For some events Fereni is served cold as a dessert, while at other times it is served warm for someone who is feeling under the weather or sick. I personally prefer having it warm. FYI trying to decorate with grounded up pistachio powder is very difficult. Especially because it sticks to your fingers and doesn’t do what you want it to do 🙂.
In Persian tradition, dining is a harmony of hot and cold temperaments (Garm o Sard). Serve this dish alongside:
Fragrant Finishing Secret: Grind saffron threads with a pinch of sugar in a mortar and steep in warm water for maximum crimson color. Always stir in rosewater (golab) and crushed cardamom during the final minutes of cooking so their delicate floral oils stay vibrant.

Laboo (Beets)
I know many of you probably don’t like beets… but Persian Laboo is something else! I personally never thought I would find beets to be tasty, but even I found myself enjoying them. In Iran, hot steaming Laboo is the ultimate street food on a cold winter night.
Lavashak-e Aloo Torsh (Sour Plum Fruit Roll)
Lavashak is a FAVORITE Persian treat! It comes in a few different flavors based on the fruit used to make Lavashak. This specific Lavashak is made with Plum’s. My mother-in-law deserves all the credit for making this!
