Do you have the recipe for doshab or Shireh angoor? Thanks
Hi,
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you but I’ve been in Iran most of this year and I can’t open wordpress when there. No I don’t have a recipe myself as I haven’t made it.
I found this video recipe which I think is very good. Let me know if you make some. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekN8GlJDU0s
This is a year late as I saw today! Just get campaign grapes and they must be ripe. Blend and strain the juice. Then boil it down to syrup. In Azerbaijan at the end they add clean clay soil but here I just add a little sugar as I have no other choice. You must boil it to jam consistency. Also, there are imported ones from Turkey in Mid.Eastern stores but I like mine.
Do you anybody who can cook and serve Persian kabab in a family party
Hi,
Are you in Bath? Can you please email me on simi@simiskitchen.co.uk? Thanks, Simi
I cook for myself and I am a good cook. I even have gone to cooking classes but Iranian Kabob no matter how you try does not taste like Iran. The best way is to buy meat fresh and pound it and make onion juice. Sprinkle with salt and brush all over the both sides of the meat. This way is a lot similar to the ones in Iran. I have a friend who lives in Orange country California, and she is the author of a cookbook and she might do it but she is from Azerbaijan ( the North, Baku) I am from Azerbaijan too but from the South, Tabriz. If you are interested, you can email me and we will take from there.Also, Armenians may do that depending on where you are located. I am in Los Angeles.
