Chelo Kabab

 The most authentic Persian food one can eat.

 

Step 1- parboil rice and rinse 


Step 2- layer rice in cooker and add lots of butter.


Step 3- shape your  ground meat (in this case it's ground beef with grated onions resting overnight). Yes, there are special skewers available but I like to shape my kababs by hand.

 

Step 4- invert cooked rice onto a plate.


Step 5- separate the tahdig (crust) from chelo (rice).


Step 6- place the tahdig onto a separate plate.


Step 7- place the grilled meat onto a dish.

 Step 8- dish out some rice and meat.


Step 9- eat and say Bah! Bah!


 Noushe-jan!

Blue Hour! Week 16

 "Blue Hour is that special time just after sunset or just BEFORE sunrise when the sky is not completely dark yet, the sun is down but there is soft light particles everywhere, and everything has a magical blue tint."

No explanations.

No details. 

No historical commentaries.
