Fresh Herbs in the Persian Kitchen with Mab & The League of Kitchens
Our July class is all about fresh herbs, ever-present in the summer garden, from mint, to thyme and rosemary, basil, tarragon, oregano, marjoram, lemon balm, and so much more!
When we think of cooking with fresh seasonal herbs, nobody does it better than Persians. In fact, the age-old love affair between Persians and their herbs is legendary! In the Persian kitchen, fresh herbs are not just the supporting actors, they are the stars. What other cuisine offers an entire salad platter made of fresh herbs?! Or fills a frittata with so many herbs that it's solid green and one of the most delicious things you've ever tasted?! Mab will share a whole new way to think about herbs and to utilize them in your kitchen.
Here's our menu for the afternoon:
Sabzi Khordan (Fresh Herb Salad)
A platter of fresh herbs, scallions, radishes, whole walnuts, and feta topped with olive oil and dried mint.
Kuku Sabzi (Herbed Persian Frittata)
A beautiful and complex frittata featuring lots of fresh herbs, spinach, leeks, and scallions that are mixed with egg, walnuts, and barberries then baked until bright green and fluffy yet firm.
Mast O Khiar (Yogurt with Cucumber, Mint and Rose Petals)
Goat’s milk yogurt combined with diced cucumbers and dried mint, topped with crushed rose petals and nuts.

INGREDIENTS
To source some of the traditional Persian ingredients, like barberries and dried rose petals, we will provide links to specialty shops from which you can order, should you not have local sources for purchase.
PREPARATION
This is a live, interactive cooking class, hosted by Six Dutchess Farm on Zoom, and taught by Mab from the League of Kitchens. Recipes, a full ingredient list, and a Zoom link will be provided one week prior to class. Though you are not required to cook along, it does make the experience more immersive and it provides you with a real Sunday treat.
CANCELLATIONS
Please note, no refunds are given should you decide to cancel your registration, but we do provide class credit up to ten days prior to the class. After this time, if you are unable to attend, we encourage you to gift your class to a friend or loved one, who can share the recipes and experience with you, and maybe even cook the meal for you, too!
