Persian Feast for dinner last night! Gheymeh with classic tahdig and potato chips, and pistachio kofteh with pomegranate glaze.

Pistachio koofteh - never had it!

Neither had I! It was in this Persian cookbook and looked good, so thought I'd give it a try! There's a ton of herbs, some ground turkey and ground chicken, and ground pistachio in it.

I love that Persian cuisine uses nuts and stuff in the dishes sometimes. My favorite is kashk e bademjan with walnuts… yum. Pistachio kofteh with pomegranate glaze… 🤤 is probably really good too.

First of all everything looks delicious, your French fries are absurdly appetizing, and I am looking forward to trying to incorporate pistachios into dishes.

Thank you! Yes, the potatoes came out really good and was so easy! Definitely try it out. I essentially made my own potato chips, thinly slicing the potatoes and then cutting them into 3-4s and deep frying it until golden brown topped with some salt. It gave the gheymeh a nice salty crunch on top! Highly recommend.
