How this kind of dish is made

The source documents this dish but not a method specific to it. The steps below describe how dishes of this kind are generally made.

  1. Cook the soaked legumes and grains until partly tender.

  2. Combine with water or stock in a large pot.

  3. Add herbs, noodles, meat, or the dish-specific ingredients at the appropriate stage.

  4. Simmer gently, stirring regularly, until thick and fully cooked.

  5. Adjust seasoning and serve with fried onions, mint oil, kashk, or the traditional garnish.

Cook's notes

Whisk the flour into cool liquid first to prevent lumps. Add the vinegar gradually so the sourness of the shooli remains balanced.

Background

Shooli is a well-known food of Yazd. Its use of greens, beet or turnip, and vinegar illustrates a cuisine adapted to an arid climate and locally available ingredients.
