FLAVORFUL PERSIAN BRAISED LAMB SHANKS
This lamb shank is tender, juicy, and so flavorful. It is an authentic Persian recipe passed down from my father who was born in Tehran, Iran. It does take a lot of time to prepare but it's worth it. My friends and family say it's comparable to something served in a 5-star restaurant. Serve with seasoned lentils, white rice, dill rice, or rice with lima beans. This is a dish to impress, perfect for the holidays!

Steps:
- Rub 1 tablespoon olive oil over lamb shanks and cover with salt.
- Mix turmeric, cinnamon, cardamom, black pepper, cumin, and nutmeg together in a small bowl. Sprinkle over lamb shanks. Let lamb shanks marinate for 1 hour at room temperature.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large pot. Cook and stir onion until browned, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.
- Whisk hot water, lime juice, rose water, and saffron together in a small bowl. Cover and let steep for 10 minutes.
- Heat remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Cook lamb shanks in batches until browned, 5 to 8 minutes per batch. Transfer lamb shanks to a plate.
- Whisk wine into the pot, scraping any browned bits off the bottom. Add onion and garlic mixture, steeped saffron mixture, parsley, thyme, lime zest, and bay leaves. Return lamb shanks to the pot. Cover with chicken broth. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, until lamb shanks are tender, about 2 1/2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
- Uncover pot and simmer until broth reduces slightly, about 20 minutes. Transfer lamb shanks to an oven-safe dish.
- Place lamb shanks in the preheated oven to keep warm.
- Bring broth to a boil; simmer until thickened, about 10 minutes. Spoon broth over lamb shanks.

Steps:
- Tip the dates into a bowl with the raisins, cover with 200ml hot water from the kettle and set aside. Meanwhile, grease a 1.5 litre pudding basin and line the base with a disk of parchment paper. Put the dry ingredients and orange zest in a large bowl. Stir in the dates and raisins (and soaking liquid), the rose and orange water, with the eggs and butter. Mix until everything is combined. Tip into the basin and cover with a circle of parchment paper, then foil, then tie the rim with string.
- Place the pudding on an upturned jar lid in a large pan and pour in hot water from the kettle until it comes halfway up the bowl. Cover the pan and gently steam for 4 hrs, topping up with more water if needed. The pudding can be eaten straight away, chilled and kept for up to a week, or frozen for 1 month. To reheat, defrost completely or remove from the fridge and steam pud again for 30 mins until piping hot.
- To make the butter, whisk the ingredients together. Serve the pudding in wedges with a spoonful of the butter melting over it.

PERSIAN RICE
I believe I've posted a few fool-proof methods for cooking perfect rice, but this Persian version takes the grand prize, and it's not even close for second. The beauty of this method is that it doesn't rely on any specific measurements, or even exact times. This will make some of you very nervous, but just go with it.

PERSIAN SPICE MIX
Also known as advieh, this aromatic blend comes from Persian cuisine. It's fragrant, a little sweet, and gently warming. It is delicious mixed with sugar and sprinkled over baked goods, donuts, and rice pudding or added to dried fruits that are cooking into jam. It straddles the sweet and savory world because it's also great for flavoring rice pilaf with toasted nuts, lentil soup, lamb meatballs, braised chicken, or vegetable stew. It's a blend that is shared by chefs and pastry chefs. Use it to make Persian-Style Carrots and Black-Eyed Peas.
