Afghani Sheer Pira (Milk Fudge)By DarrenThis Afghani dessert is simply delicious! Think silky vanilla fudge with crunchy walnuts and pistachios. We snagged this wonderfully simple recipe from Afghan Food Kitchen on YouTube.Afghani Aushak (Leek and Scallion Dumplings)By DarrenWe stole this recipe for Afghani Aushak (leek and scallion dumplings) from Tara's Multicultural Table. A simple and super tasty recipe that cheats by using wonton wrappers.
These tasty leek and scallion dumplings are topped with a rich sauce of meat, tomato, and spices before a final drizzle of cool yogurt and mint sauce to round things out. We hope you'll give this recipe a try and hope that you enjoy it as much as we did. Cheers!Afghani PulaoBy DarrenAs we begin our endeavor to cook an "authentic" meal from every country in the world, our first challenge is the cuisine of Afghanistan. In our area, the local Islamic Center hosts an annual International Food Festival, and we snagged their cookbook at our last visit, where we found this great Afghani Pulao recipe.
We've never made an effort to differentiate the foods of the Middle-East, so this cookbook has been very helpful in identifying variations of different familiar dishes by country or region. While this pulao recipe is vegetarian, we understand that there are many other varieties that incorporate meats and other ingredients. Be sure to let us know what you think about this one.
