Springtime Meal
I wanted to make the Persian Rice Pilaf for a while and decided that now is the time. But what should I make to go with it? I flipped to the index and looked at the recipes from Iran and decided on the zucchini puree and a veganized version of the egg pie with fresh herbs.

Wow, it all looks great! I, too, had been looking a lot at her recipes from Iran. She was talking a lot about the cumin from Iran being the best (a big sell for me) and I was also impressed with their pilafs as well. So glad to see you making these dishes. Have you ever seen that lime? I think it says you can use lime juice, but still, that would be fun. Yesterday I made the french lentils in a sauce (Morocco?) and the potato and green bean curry from Sri Lanka. I realized I made three of her recipes from Sri Lanka already (I made tomato sambal to go with the leftover yams a few days ago). I'll try to post those later, or I might just save them and post them all together once I've made other things.
Yesterday, I got really inspired by the fresh smell of my parsley so I get what you're saying here about the spring.
We made that potato and green bean curry a while ago and still have some of the spice powder. I liked it, but I didn't love it, which bothered me because it was alot of work to grind the spices (at that time we didn't have an electric grinder for spices).
Dave isn't too much a fan of cumin, but I do enjoy it. There are these snacks available at Indian markets that are spiced with cumin & go great with hummus.
Ay, Dave doesn't like Cumin (the only spice that deserves a capital)! AA doesn't really like onions so there hasn't been onion cooking around here for awhile. They boys, they're like that sometimes. This is where it is revealed that I'm actually not following the directions as I claim: I didn't make that fancy sri lankan spice mixture. Not cause I didn't have the spices, but I had some really nice curry powder that I wanted to use up. I liked that dish a lot, moreso than the lentils in a sauce which were good, but not OHMYGOSH THISISGREAT which is how I have been feeling about most of the food I've cooked out of the book.
