This spinach and yogurt dish is Persian in origin, The yogurt is redolent with both musky and sweet spices complementing the slightly tart taste of the spinach.
Borani Esfanah is enjoyed as an appetizer, side dish, or dip to spread on bread.
Though untraditional, the hot pepper flavoring adds zip.
Accompany with French bread, or pita; or, for a more tactile experience, tear off pieces of warm, soft flour tortillas and scoop up the savory mixture.

The envoys of fall arrive to greet us well before the autumnal equinox. Gourds, which include...
This is a great recipe! I served it as a main dish rather than an appetizer and everyone loved it. I was worried the chicken would be bland, but it was very flavorful and light. So many meat fondue recipes use alot of oil so it was great to find such a healthy recipe. The veggies were great too.
Quick, easy and tasty. Why order out for chinese when it's so easy to make at home. Low in fat only 223 calories per serving with great flavor. If you are quick you can have it ready in only 10 minutes, 15 minutes at the most!
