Baba Ganush:

Ingredients

·      1 head of garlic

  • 1 Tbsp. plus 1 tsp. extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving

  • Kosher salt T.T

  • Freshly ground black pepper T.T

  • 4 medium eggplants

  • ½ cup fresh lemon juice

  • 1 cup tahini

  • 3 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley

  • Mayo ½ cup

  • Olive oil 60 ml

  • Toasted pita

  • Pomegranate 1

1.    Place the garlic head, cut side up, on a sheet of foil, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Gather the foil together in a bundle and twist together to seal.

2.    On to the eggplant. Prick the eggplants all over with a fork to create steam vents; we do not want an eggplant explosion.

3.    Line a large baking sheet with foil (for easy clean-up) and place the garlic head and eggplants on the baking sheet. Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and broil, turning the eggplants occasionally with tongs, until the eggplants are blackened outside and extremely tender inside. This should take 30 to 35 minutes, but there is a wide variance in broiler power, so start checking early but keep in mind that undercooking is the only no-no—you want to overcook the eggplant. Test for doneness by inserting a paring knife into the center. If it meets with any resistance, keep on broiling.

4.    Once the eggplant is charred and has collapsed into pudding, let it cool for 10 minutes before splitting it open and scooping the flesh into a colander; discard the skin—its work is done. Let the eggplant drain for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. At that point, scrape the flesh into a large bowl, squeeze in the roasted garlic cloves, and add the lemon juice. Using a fork, mash it all together until it’s one homogeneous mass. Add the tahini and 1 Tbsp. olive oil and grate in 1 garlic clove (feel free to skip the grated garlic if you prefer a slightly sweeter dip); stir to combine. Season with salt to taste.

5.    You’re almost there. All that remains is to transfer the baba ghanoush to a serving bowl, drizzle with oil, and garnish with parsley and pomegranate. Serve with pita and/or sliced vegetables for dipping.

 

Abdoogh Khiar

·       2 1/2 cups plain yogurt

·       6 cups cold water

·       1 1/2 teaspoon salt

·       4 teaspoons dried mint

·       4 Persian cucumbers, diced

·       1/2 cup raisins

·       1 cup chopped walnut

·       1 1/2 cup chopped herbs, mint, parsley, dill and basil

·       2 teaspoons powdered Persian dried rose petals, optional

·       Ice, optional

·       4 lavash bread  

 

1.             Reserve 1 cup of the yogurt and mix the rest with the 1 tsp salt, 2 tsp dried mint and water (Use a whisk if needed). Set aside.

2.             Mix the remaining yogurt, salt and dried mint with cucumbers, raisins, walnut and herbs. Add in the yogurt and water mix to and stir to combine. Add in the rose petals if using.

3.             Divide the cold soup among large serving bowls and add ice if the soup is not cold enough.

4.             Break in the lavash into each bowl, let it soak for a few minutes and then enjoy.

 

Malabi:

Ingredients

For the Pudding:

  • 3L whole milk (2% milk is also fine), divided

  • 270 g cornstarch

  • 75 ml tablespoon rose water

  • 1 1/2 cup sugar

For the strawberry Rose Syrup

  • 1 cup sugar

  • 1 cup water

  • 1 clamshell seedless strawberry puree

  • 60 ml rose water

  • chopped or crushed pistachios with peanuts shredded coconut

 

1.    In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup of the milk with the cornstarch and rose water. Mix well with a fork or clean fingers, until the mixture is smooth and lump-free. (The cornstarch may be hard to stir at first, but will loosen as you mix.) Set aside.

2.    In a medium saucepan, combine the remaining 2 1/2 cups of milk with the sugar. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar dissolves.

3.    When bubbles begin to break the surface, reduce the heat to low. Give the cornstarch mixture a stir, and add it to the simmering milk, stirring constantly. 

4.    Cook the pudding at a gentle simmer, stirring very frequently, until it thickens enough to coat the back of the spoon, about 5 to 7 minutes. (If you're not stirring constantly, try not to scrape the bottom of the pan, or you may end up with lumps in your pudding.)

5.    Pour or spoon the malabi into 6 to 8 serving dishes. Allow to cool slightly, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 3 hours (the pudding will firm up as it cools). 

 

For the syrup:

1.    While the pudding chills, make the syrup: In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, water, and jam. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar and incorporate the puree

2.    When the mixture is smooth, remove from the heat, and stir in the rose water. Transfer to a dish and refrigerate until ready to serve. 

3.    To serve the malabi, spoon a little syrup over the top, and garnish with slivered or chopped nuts or coconut if desired.
