I'm running out of superlatives. This was scrumptious and I did the aubergine version. Next time will be with the lamb. Thank you Spicery - you've enhanced our lives.
We often cook Persian recipes from scrstch - this kit achieves a lovely authentic-tasting meal - we couldnt decide between lamb or aubergine, so had both - and was delicious.
Why choose one when you can have both? We're so pleased to hear how much you enjoyed this fragrant Persian stew!
This one was just delicious and made the kitchen smell amazing!
Thanks for your lovely review, Rose - we're so pleased to hear how much you loved both the flavour and fragrance of this subtly spiced Persian dish!
This was simply stunning. I did the lamb version and can’t wait to try it veggie style next. The yoghurty part was outstanding - my wife was drinking it straight from the bowl. Try it now!
Yum - great job, Andrew! We're so pleased to hear how much you enjoyed this elegant Persian stew. Happy spicing!
My daughter bought me the family pack as a Christmas present because she knows I love cooking and traveling and I loved them, I'm now going to buy the adventure kits.
When you love to travel but can't go anywhere right now, we hope this dish transported you to Persia - at least just for a little while! We can't wait to see what you make with you adventurous kits!
Interesting flavours and we enjoyed it. The sauce didn’t really thicken for me and unfortunately we’re really struggling to get lamb. I am sure it would’ve been much better with the right meat! Still a tasty dinner and it was nice to try something different :o)
Glad you enjoyed this, everything looks great to us! Happy spicing!
A really tasty recipe, I've never tried Persian cuisine before. I used lamb mince instead of chunks of lamb, and made meatballs, which worked really well with the dish. Plus I added in some aubergine for good measure. Delicious!! Thank you Spicery!
YUM this looks fantastic- great shout adding in the aubergine too!
This came in our Family Favourites bundle. It is hard to believe such amazing flavours came from a very easy kit to make! Everyone loved it, and the flavours stay with you long after the meal is done, leaving you wanting more. We will definitely be ordering more of these once they're back in stock. We used chicken this time, but we want to try it with aubergine.
Amazing, glad everyone really enjoyed this! Let us know how you get on using aubergine- happy spicing!
The Burnt Mint Raita didn't add a lot but the aubergines were fantastic in this delicate meal. We added a kachumber Salad and that was a joy too. An absolute delight for a Friday Night. Thank You.
Yum - looks great!
At last a wonderful mild dish with no screaming heat. We loved it. Could we have more MILD dishes please
Yum - looks great!
I got brought a subscription for my birthday. Me and my boyfriend absolutely loved making this dinner and enjoyed it very much. Super delicious and fun !
That's great! Happy spicing!
Excellent flavours! We tried the vegetarian version with aubergines and found it sensational and really easy to prepare. Very recommended.
Great use of the humble aubergine! Happy spicing!
Very tasty, great for a cold winters day.
wowww the mint and garlic butter-coated yogurt looks seriously creamy and delicious! We love the beautiful patterned crockery too- delightful!
Another delicious Spicery easy kit! The rice in particular was lovely.
This is a favourite at Spicery HQ too, so glad you enjoyed it!
Remaking a favourite!
That's one of our old favourites too Seonad (in fact we've never taken it off the list of kits since we first made it)! Glad to hear you enjoy it so much!
This is my 2nd time to try this and I think it will become one of my regular kits.
Tasty as ever and easy instructions to follow
Now this is THE favourite. Absolutely delicious and one of tne quicker to prepare recipes, although none of them take a really long time anyway. Great to serve up such a gorgeous tasting meal virtually at the drop of a hat.
Was bought a 3 month subscription last Christmas and loved it. Have bought lots of different spice mixes ever since. Highly recommended. Xxx
I was sent this as a free sample when I first got my subscription,once I made it I was so impressed I bought a second straight away! Lovely flavour,so easy to follow,the lamb was delicious & the rice so much nicer than normal plain rice.
Arrived 2 days later, brilliant instructions on recipe, tastes great!
Love love love the kits! I buy them as gifts for me fiance so I get to enjoy cooking and eating them with him! Always delicious. Well packaged and quick service:)
