It was quite good, and it was a generous two meals for us. (We still have leftovers for lunch tomorrow, but I may skip it - three days in a row of the same thing may be a bit much.) It was also pretty easy.
ReplyDeleteWow! This is making my tummy rumble. Your recipes are really interesting and different. I am sure to try one sometimes and will let you know. Found you thru 31DBBB so I am sure we'll interact more in coming days.

I tried something like this recipe at an Iranian restaurant in Japan. The taste was a surprise to me - lets just say I didn't expect it. Would love to try making it myself so thanks for sharing the recipe

Please do let me know how it turns out, and what you think of it. My husband thought it turned out fine. I thought it was kind of cheeky of me to take three recipes, combine them, throw everything into a crock pot (that must be some sort of sacrilege!) and claim it's "Ash e-Anar," when I've never tried the dish at all and have nothing to compare it to! LOL!
ReplyDeleteOh well. I thought it was quite good, and certainly beats standing over a hot stove for two hours. (My husband's cousin wrote something like, "The important thing is to stir it constantly." Eeeeek! I remember, when I was first married, my youngest brother in law lived with us for a few months. He was still in his teens, and I thought his mother would kill me if I served him anything that came out of a can. I finally said this out loud to him, and he gave me the most puzzled grin. "Why? She does it all the time." All righty, then. She, herself, confessed to buying packaged phyllo dough - I just thank goodness I asked before attempting THAT.

Great! Thanks for letting me know, and do tell me what you think after you have a chance to try one of my recipes. I'd meant to add a little fresh basil to the egg dish, by the way. It was good without, but I think it would have been even tastier with. I dropped by your blog, as well, and will definitely be back. Anyone who writes a eulogy to a dryer is pretty cool in my book.

Yummy post!Thank you for sharing this wonderful information about pomegranate with us. With all this buzz about superfriuts flying around I feel it is very important for us to know in detail what we consume. Looking forward to see more posts like this from you.
