خورش بادمجان

This weekend, I dedicated my Sunday morning to something far beyond my current capacities: Persian cooking.

As a moderately avid ~chef~ (for a college student at least), I was up to the challenge. My first hurdle was finding a vegetarian dish. While I found several, I also found that Persian ingredients are not college friendly! Thus, I opted to recreate a classic, which I’d tried months earlier at a Persian restaurant in Kirkland, Washington, khoresh bademjan (خورش بادمجان). This dish, eggplant stew, is an eggplant and split pea stew with a citrus broth served over rice. You can find several recipes online, varying in complexity and flavor, but I selected to follow a recipe provided by PersianMama.com. Her blog is linked below.

Now on to my second challenge: collecting the ingredients. Thanks to my ingenious work in recipe selection, I was able to use ingredients mostly found in my pantry or at the local grocery store. However, there were a few ingredients I still had to venture to an international grocery store for, namely the yellow split peas and pomegranate concentrate (not pictured). The recipe also called for optional saffron, and I’m sorry to all Iranians of the world, but my college budget just had to do without :(

With my ingredients assembled, I began cooking! Each step was pretty straightforward, but BEWARE, there are a lot of moving parts. All at once, my eggplants were baking, my split peas boiling, my onions sautéing, and my rice simmering. Luckily, everything came together in a kitchen fury and my stew was made!

The dish was very, very flavorful, with a savory citrus quality not commonly found in American kitchens. I definitely enjoyed my Sunday adventure in Persian cooking, and I’m on the lookout for a recipe to try next :)

•College cooking•

1 frying pan recipes

-assorted vegetables (I used celery, onion, and broccoli stems)

-left over chicken

-whole wheat pasta

Yes, I made pasta in the frying pan. Sue me. I only have 1 pan.

Not going to pretend like I kept track of how much everything cost and what % I used of that product to give you and accurate dollar amount for this meal. But it’s pretty cheap

College Cooking Persian Style

My family always made Persian food while I was growing up. Even my mother, who is Canadian, makes delicious Persian dishes. At Penn, the closest Persian restaurant is over 10 kilometers away, so it’s not the most conducive to college lifestyles. This weekend I decided to try out my own Americanized Persian cooking.

Conveniently, Makkah Market is only 4 blocks away from my house in Philly. It immediately reminded me of my own Little Persia in Toronto. I searched the aisles for ingredients I recognized and found basmati rice and potato samosas (among many other things). The samosas reminded me of my grandma’s sambuseh and my family always uses basmati rice. I figured that I would make rice and stew with the rest of the ingredients I bought.

I called my Ameh to have her explain how to make Persian rice. I steamed it with butter and lined the bottom of the pan with sliced potatoes. Despite her instructions, it was far from the delicious rice she makes (I even undercooked the rice so there were some crunchy pieces).

Nonetheless, the rest of the meal was a success! I made a tomato and eggplant stew that used cumin, turmeric, cinnamon and garlic. I would have loved to use saffron, but the best kind is very expensive, and my family usually brings it back all the way from Iran.

I always thought Persian food was impossible to make, but now I am much more inclined to continue cooking this way! The best part about the experience was serving the food to my friends; I love cooking for other people and it warms my heart to see my non-Persian friends enjoying the food.

Dutch Baby

by Eric J.

Recipe:

Ingredients

⅔ cup of milk

3 large eggs

½ cup all purpose flour (packed)

¼ tsp vanilla extract

¼ tsp salt

3 tbsp clarified butter (can be substituted with vegetable oil)

1 tbsp cinnamon (approximately)

¼ tsp nutmeg (approximately)

(Out of the Oven)

Instructions

Clarified butter

If you cannot buy this from a store, you will need to clarify your own butter.

First, cut about 5 tablespoons of butter up into a thick bottomed saucepan.

Melt the butter on low heat. This should take a little while.

Separate milk solids (white foam) on top of the clarified butter.

Let the butter cool to allow about 5 minutes. Then skim off any more solids and pour the clarified butter into a separate dish.

NOTE: The milk solids can be kept and served on the Dutch Baby, but also go good on other food, especially popcorn.

Dutch Baby

It is a good idea to stage your utensils before starting. You’ll need 1

8-10 inch cast iron skillet, either a blender or a simple protein

shaker, oven mitts, and measuring utensils.

First, preheat the oven to 425ºF

Blend milk, flour, eggs, vanilla, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until batter is smooth. If using the protein shaker, be sure to add milk before flour and that all of the flour has been incorporated.

Melt clarified butter into cast iron skillet on high heat until just bubbling.

Pour batter into center of skillet. Be careful for splattering butter.

Let cook on stove top for 20-30 seconds, then quickly transfer to oven.

Bake at 425ºF for 20- 25 minutes on the middle rack. Check after 20 minutes as cook time may vary

Once sufficiently risen (3-4 inches depending on skillet) and golden brown, remove and serve.

Eat quickly as the dish cools easily. Often served with some fresh lemon juice, powdered sugar, butter, or maple syrup

NOTE: Be sure that pictures are taken immediately after removing from oven. Also, season to taste. Amounts of spices are suggestions and experimenting with berries is encouraged. Basically, treat this as a glorified pancake both in altering and serving.

(Serving Images left to right: Cut and Served)

There are a lot of reasons for people to bake. Some people only will if they have to, others bake because they love it. I bake to eat. That means I’m not really concerned with presentation will absolutely avoid unnecessary messes. When I look for recipe I’m checking the time it takes to make before anything else. Don’t get me wrong, I do enjoy baking and I love when something turns out looking professional, but that’s not what I’m doing it for. I like to eat, and if I want something, nine out of ten times, I have to make it myself.

Being as inexperienced as I am, most of my recipes come from YouTube videos where I can see step-by-step what to do. I found out about Dutch Babies from a channel called FoodWishes. I decided to go ahead and try to make one after a little research into clarified butter (which I had never even heard of previously). After getting right and having to share with my family, making Dutch Babies became a regular thing for weekend breakfasts.

This recipe is one of the simplest, yet impressive looking dishes I’ve ever made. It take a few common ingredients, and about 10 minutes to prepare before you bake it. To make the cleanup easy on myself, I just use a protein shaker instead of a blender to mix the batter. The simplicity is my favorite part about Dutch Babies, well aside from the name. The look on people’s face when you tell them you ate a Dutch Baby for breakfast really is priceless.

Speaking of the name, you may be wondering as to why an overly fluffy pancake is called a Dutch Baby. Although it’s perfectly reasonable to think there is some connection to the German penchant for creating gruesome fables for children, this is actually an American dish. Based on a German dish, the Dutch Baby was actually created by a restaurant owner in Washington that claimed a trademark in 1942. The owner’s daughter is actually credited with naming the dish.

As I said, this is just a dish. When you’re eating with four people, Dutch Babies go fast. It’s always a good idea to have a few thing you can pair it with. The great thing about being a breakfast food, is that there are so many sides to serve with this dish. There’s always thick cut, hickory smoked bacon, or breakfast sausages (I prefer links), but it never hurts to experiment a little. Personally, I find a small assortment of fruits and berries does the trick. Whatever you may have on the side, I suggest staying away from eggs. The Dutch Baby already has three eggs in it and in the center you can really tell from how dense it is.

(Collage Image, left to right clockwise: melted butter, gentle boil, separated butter, clarified butter.)

So let’s talk a little about actually making this Franken-cake. First; the clarified butter. This is kind of extra to be honest, and just vegetable oil will do the trick, but clarified butter is the best thing to use. I clarified my own the night before, but you can buy this stuff at a much higher quality than what I made. Basically what happens is boiling separates the oils, salts, and fat solids in the butter. Then you just strain off the liquid oil to use. It takes time, can be messy, but definitely makes the process feel more authentic.

(Collage Image 2: left to right going down the columns: ready to mix, finished, cinnamon in, flour and salt, side view)

Second thing; mixing the batter. Like I said earlier, I just use a protein shaker. It’s fast, easy to clean, and perfect when you’re trying to be quiet cooking in the morning. If you try this recipe, please don’t make it harder than it has to be.

Now my favorite part every time is pouring the batter and watching this thing rise. You may want to make sure you use the middle rack, I’ve had it hit the top of the oven before! Something to keep in mind when heating the clarified butter is to coat the sides of the skillet and not to pour until it begins to bubble a little bit. Once you pour, wait thirty seconds to a minute and stick it in the oven to bake

.
