BORANI-E ESFENAJ BA MAAST

By Manuela | December 11, 2019 | InAll Recipes, Blog, Entrees

I think Persian cuisine lends itself so well to our way of eating, it is fragrant, healthy, varied and really quite easy to prepare.
Borani’s are side dishes. This one is made with fresh baby spinach and yogurt, the golden raisins are the surprise.
