Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Accompaniments: Skewered ground lamb kabab (Kabab-e kubideh); Rice with meat kabab (Chelow kabab); Ground chicken kabab

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    A variation of "Yogurt, cucumber and rose petal dip" on same page. Part of the suggested Dinner, Spring and Summer Menus on P615. Can substitute other cucumbers for Persian cucumbers.

    This is a variation on the Yoghurt, Cucumber and Rose Petal Dip, and in a way, it is the "kitchen sink" of yoghurt dishes. I hope this saying translates - it means that the dish has everything. It is a delicious variation to the main recipe that adds a layer of spices. I had some left over ground pistachios, so added them as well for good measure.
