Persian / Iranian Ghalieh Esfanaaj

Wed, 16 Apr 2008 18:49:58 -0400

This is a delicious Persian recipe for meatballs with lentils, split peas & black eyed beans. If you don't have Kashk you can use sour cream, also you can use sumac or a little tamarind paste / powder in place of the pomegranate powder or just leave it out. Preparation time doesn't include soaking time! -- posted by Um Safia

Serve this vegetarian version as an appetizer or a side dish. This recipe is from Martha Rose Shulman and was printed in the New York Times (January 2, 2009). -- posted by blucoat
