Kofteh Berenji (2) (Rice Meatballs)
I recently visited my parents and made a second type of Kofteh Berenji with their help. The first one I had made was a bit different and included lapeh (split yellow peas). The balls I made in my other Kofteh Berenji recipe were larger, and the ones in this one were much smaller and stuck together far better. If you want something light and tasty I definitely recommend this!
In Persian tradition, dining is a harmony of hot and cold temperaments (Garm o Sard). Serve this dish alongside:
Layering Aromatics: Build flavor from the ground up with golden caramelized onions (piyaz dagh), earthy turmeric bloomed in warm oil, and patience over gentle heat—allowing herbs, spices, and tart accents to meld into a balanced bite.

Sabzi Polo Ba Mahi
Sabzi Polo ba Mahi is a rice with herbs that is typically served with mahi (fish). Obviously everyone uses different types of fish, and depending on where you live you probably don’t have all the types of fish you would like to have. I made Sabzi Polo ba Mahi and have explained the ingredients I used below. For the fish I usually use Salmon, Trout, Halibut, or Tilapia. You can use another type of fish.
Sweet and Tangy Fish with Saffron Rice
We were given some fish (Crappie) and wanted to try something different with it. I decided to create a citrus sauce for the fish and make some rice topped with saffron to serve it with.
Oven Baked Salmon With Cream Sauce
I had been wanting to make Oven Baked Salmon with a cream sauce for a long time. I finally got around to it and thought this would be something nice to make for two… or you could bake an entire Salmon to feed at least 4 people.
