Learn How To Make Tachin From The Unmanly Chef

1. 1

   Tahchin is one of the most iconic dishes in Persian cuisine. ItAAAs also perfect for Nowruz, itAAAs elegant yet satisfying. Moreover it doesnAAAt have any outlandish flavors so the annoying people at your house who have finicky palettes cannot really get upset about this dish.

2. 2

   So what is Tahchin? Basically itAAAs a rice cake, itAAAs rice, yogurt, eggs, saffron, and chicken. I like to bake mine in muffin tins, because it allows for a more elegant look. But typically youAAAll bake it in a pyrex dish.

   Tahchin reminds me only of one thing, my Mom and her parties. My Mom learned from her Mom (my Mommon Joon) to throw awesome parties. Not like ragers where everyone gets drunk and blah blah, those parties are not the parties IAAAm talking about. Even though, some of you might think that those are the only kinds of parties you should have. My MomAAAs parties are always dinner parties or lunch parties, basically meal parties. Parties where tons of food is served and numerous dishes are prepared. Why do Iranian hosts prepare so many dishes for their guests? Basically itAAAs a confidence thing, theyAAAre worried that their guests might not like a certain dish, so they make so many dishes that your guest would have to find something they like. Because remember people, upsetting your guests is basically a Persian host or hostessAAAs worst nightmare, so a Persian hostess will most likely always choose making sure her guests are happy.
