This dish is my own version of a mix between two recipes from Ottolenghi and Sabrina Ghayour’s recipes.

Sabrina Ghayour, a Persian chef, lives in the United Kingdom and is known for preparing easy, delicious and colorful recipes. Her books have become great references for Persian cooking in the past few years. I love her cooking and I was very touched by her extreme kindness …
