Vegan Persian Food with Elham

Bita and Beata have been looking for a Persian vegan food enthusiast to support you with recipe substitutions while keeping classic flavors and nutritional balance in mind. They found her in Elham!  Special guest Elham shares her journey into the vegan lifestyle. The interview covers tofu, beans, and legumes as excellent protein-rich meat substitutions in stew. Beata is desperate to experiment with the can of jackfruit! What will she do with it?! Does Elham miss eating kabab? Listen on to find out. 

Elham asks the Beats, “cooking Persian food can be a labor of love and very time consuming - do you have any strategies to cook Persian faster and easier?”  The Beats love this question and each give insights on how to take shortcuts to make Persian food happen even on the witchiest of busy nights.
