For me no Persian feast is complete without hummus and homemade Eastern-style Focaccia. The Focaccia from the book “Persiana” by Sabrina Ghayour. Food styling and preparation by me, Udo Reichelt-Schaurer, photography Sarah Jane Leggett.

Dishes in the background and on the right hand woman’s plate are spiced lamb Kefta and Turkish Feta Pastry Cigars, both from the book “Persiana” by Sabrina Ghayour. Food styling and preparation Udo Reichelt-Schaurer, photography Sarah Jane Leggett.

The dish in the girl’s hand is Spiced Lamb and Apricot Stew from the book “Persiana” from Sabrina Ghayour. The sweetness of the apricots beautifully complements the spiciness of the lamb – a perfect dish for a Persian feast.

I didn’t follow any recipe for this dish, I just love chickpeas. And the pomegranate just brings that bit of extra freshness to the dish. I love it! Food styling and preparation by me, Udo Reichelt-Schaurer, photography Sarah Jane Leggett.
