Dear all,

Today, we had the pleasure of sharing Iranian food for dinner. Our meal included Tahchin, a delicious saffron-infused rice cake, Lamb Shank, slow-cooked, and for dessert, Sholezard, a sweet rice pudding. It was a great way to experience the flavors of Persian cuisine.

Iranian food is known for its rich spices, slow-cooked dishes, and love for ingredients like saffron, pomegranates, and nuts. Rice plays a big role in Persian cuisine, with different techniques and styles used to create beautifully layered dishes like Tahchin.

Did you know that Iran is the world’s largest producer of saffron? This precious spice, also called “red gold,” is a key ingredient in many Iranian dishes, giving them their unique aroma and color. Another fun fact—Persian cuisine is one of the oldest in the world, with recipes and traditions dating back thousands of years!
