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 sugar or honey syrup to the required concentration.

  2. Whip the egg white and gradually incorporate the hot syrup.

  3. Continue stirring over gentle heat until thick and elastic, then fold in the nuts.

  4. Spread or mold the mixture and cut after cooling.

Cook's notes

Sugar-syrup temperature and continuous mixing are crucial to the texture of gaz. Work quickly after adding the nuts because the mixture firms rapidly as it cools.

Background

Gaz is one of Isfahan's best-known edible souvenirs, and its production and sale are closely tied to the city's bazaar culture, hospitality, and souvenir economy.
