Persian Koofteh Berenji - Rice Kufta (Guest Post)

I am very pleased and honored to be sharing one of my favorite recipes with Heidi Noroozy and her co-authors of the wonderful  Novel Adventurers blog. Koofteh berenji (rice kufte/rice ball) is a one-meal dish made with rice, meat, yellow split peas and finely chopped fresh herbs shaped into balls and simmered in fried onion and tomato sauce.

Please head on over for my Koofteh Berenji recipe along with a tribute to my maternal grandmother.


 

Enjoy!

  3. Yummy! They look gorgeous. One of my favorite meals and I could never make them myself because of the precision it needs. Trying your recipe.:-) Thanks for sharing.

  5. I quickly browsed your entire blog and looked at each food photo. Made me appreciate the Persian dishes. Makes me sooo hungry. I love spices. I often dream of going to Marrakech because of spices. I also love kebabs and rice dishes from the middle eastern country. That's why I love your blog after browsing it thoroughly. Would love to visit it more often :)

  9. I was so excited when I found your blog! I am half Persian and have always struggled getting recipes from the family. They all seem to have recipes stored in their heads only! I recently made your Khoresh Ghaymeh and it's exactly like home! I'm making the Koofteh as we speak. Definitely looking forward to trying it out!
