Date Night in Ardabil
| Description | Ardabil is one of the most picturesque regions in Iran, with a melting pot of culinary influences from Azerbaijan, Turkey and Iran. Sule, our guest chef from the area who cooked with us through our connection with Bristol Refugee Rights, presented a few of her favourite dishes that are not only popular in Ardabil but also throughout the whole of Iran. We begin with some mushroom filled pastries known as ghotab, served here with a rich tomato sauce. Next, marinated grilled lamb with saffron rice, yogurt sauce and a simple salad. Finally for dessert, Iran’s answer to rice pudding, sholezard - subtly flavoured with cinnamon and rose. |

Enjoyed every course. The starter was really lovely and I will definitely be making them again. The main worked well. I made using a chicken breast rather than lamb and it was lovely with the rice and salad. The dessert was a bit odd consistency wise but tasty enough.
Probably the best Spice Box we've had. All 3 courses were wonderful but the lamb was absolutely amazing.
Thanks for your wonderful feedback, sounds like a dreamy date night!
All the dishes were absolutely delicious!
Glad you enjoyed this delicious date night!
Great fun preparing It all with my wife. The combination of flavours was fantastic. We will definitely be re-ordering in the very near future.
It's great to hear you enjoyed this fragrant and flavoursome meal! Happy spicing!
Today we tried Chicken in place of Lamb but still had the Chelo KaBab egg Yolk and Sumac for real authentic Persian dinner. Plain Green Salad instead of Ardabil Salad as we had no salad spice left. I loved this but my dear wife preferred the lamb. Either way it was great.
Everything looks delicious- hats off to the chef!
We loved our Date Night in Ardabil, accompanied by prosecco cocktails whilst watching Strictly with our disco lights on. Our favourites were the Ghotab mushroom pastries. Thank you to all at The Spicery.
Sounds like a great Saturday night- prosecco, strictly and a delicious Spicery dish! The Ghotab looks fantastic- happy spicing!
Grilled Marinated Lamb with Yogourt sauce and salad. I then enhanced the rice with raw egg yolk and sumac. I learnt that from my mother who had lived in Persia and loved Chelo kabob. Grilled lamb and rice etc... Very rich but perfect with the lamb. Try it one day - you will be converted!!!!
Yum that sounds delicious with the addition of the sumac- everything looks so fragrant and flavoursome!
