Persian Kotlet is a delicious staple in Persian culture. Ground beef is mixed with grated onion, boiled potato, spices, and breadcrumbs and thoroughly mixed. Patties are formed, fried, and baked until the internal temp reaches 165.
It is a versatile meal, served with bread and butter at breakfast, or as a sandwich with tomato, Persian pickles, parsley, and onion. So delicious!

Chicken Parmesan
A heart-healthy chicken Parmigiana that’s baked and not fried and still has a delicious crunchy exterior. Brining the chicken 24 hours before cooking ensures a super juicy and moist chicken breast so don’t skip that step! If you don’t have time, brine for as long as possible day of. Serve with homemade marinara and pasta or a side salad for a delicious meal. https://cookingmeraki.com/recipes/homemade-tomato-sauce/
Blueberry Chocolate Chip Muffins
The secret to these super moist and not too sweet muffins is the labne yogurt. It’s a thick and rich yogurt previously only found in specialty stores (Persian markets) but is now carried in most markets. Topping the muffins with Turbinado Sugar for sparkle and sweet crunch is a must. (I do tend to just eat the tops!)
