Passover

Chicken Yakhni Pulao

The essence of this pulao is the yakhni, which means meat stock or broth. Homemade chicken stock, bone-in chicken thighs, and an abundance of spices make this a flavorful and comforting one-pot meal.

Beet, Rhubarb, and Ginger Soup

Sharp and sweet, rhubarb and beets were made for one another, and this soup is a fitting celebration of their union.

Kateh (Persian Stove-Top Rice)

This is a very simple way to make wonderful rice in under an hour. It is a technique favored around the Caspian, where rice is eaten for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Sumac Baked Fish With Saffron Quinoa

Quinoa and baked fish are well seasoned with tangy sumac, tart lime, and garlic in this Persian-inspired dinner.

This recipe uses the fat that renders when chicken thighs are seared on the stove to soften thick rounds of leeks and spring peas for a built-in side dish.

Slow-Roast Spiced Lamb Shoulder with Sumac Onions

At Maydān the lamb shoulder is cooked sous vide until meltingly tender and then finished in the hearth until crisp and golden brown. We adapted their recipe for the oven to similar effect.

Flourless Chocolate, Almond, and Coconut Cake

This is a cake version of the chocolate-dipped coconut macaroons that are a Passover staple. Any nut will work in place of the almonds.

Lemony Asparagus

This simple side dish comes together in just about 5 minutes.

Shaved Carrot and Radish Salad With Herbs

This gorgeous tumble of carrot ribbons and mixed herbs provides a crunchy, fresh counterpoint to any rich meat main.

My Mother's Brisket

The only way this tender, oniony brisket could get any better? Pair it with ultra-oniony kugel and fresh spring vegetables.

Chicken Soup with Dill Matzo Balls

Spring Lamb in Herbs

Any tender herb or green can be used in this riff on a traditional Georgian spring dish, but cilantro and dill make an exceptional, traditional pairing.
