@nicolehendizadeh: Hello👋! & Welcome to Baby Bump Kitchen, the weekly series where I make a dish based off of the size of my growing baby. Today’s recipe is NOT your nonna’s macaroni 🍝🇮🇷I’m going to be showing you my version of Persian makaroni, tahdig and all! I always grew up with my mothers makaroni, chock full of veggies and lots of different pasta shapes thrown into the mix 😂 every Persian household makes it a little differently: mine is always very bell pepper forward, made with a gorgeous sofrito fried down to a jammy mix of sorts to add lots of flavor. The secret to good makaroni is letting it steam for at least 45 minutes on a low flame: this ensures deliciously homogenized final product! And OMG that iconic tahdig crunch. Nothing like it! 🤤 Follow along for more delicious, delightful recipes #food #pregnant #babybumpkitchen #makaroni #tahdig
