Haleem

Have you had Haleem, known by some as Persian porridge? If not, definitely give this episode a listen. Bita & Beata break down traditional and modern recipes of a classic, rich and delicious Persian food made with primarily wheat and meat. Much more delicious than it sounds, it’s creamy and luscious and super comforting. Also spelled Halim.     Don’t have time to boil, strain, simmer, and mash?  Not to worry, Beata has a quick and easy solution using oats and store-bought chicken.  Bita joon shares tips for using Thanksgiving turkey leftovers to keep the savory flavors going.  Both the Beats share tips and tricks including substitutions for hard to find ingredients.  Dig in!   This week’s “Ask the Beats” comes in the form of an audio message about Mexican and Iranian food fusions.
