It Started With Red Plums… And Ended With the Perfect Traditional Persian Feast

Welcome back to another peaceful day of rural life in Iran, where traditional village cooking, homemade recipes, and the beauty of countryside living come together. Today started early with a visit to collect fresh red plums from the village orchard to prepare authentic homemade plum paste (Plum Concentrate) using traditional methods. After carefully washing the plums, I fed my chickens and baby chicks before placing the plums over a wood-fired clay stove to slowly cook until soft. For lunch, I prepared one of the most beloved traditional Persian dishes: Stone Pot Dizi (Abgoosht). I soaked chickpeas and white beans, washed fresh potatoes and onions, picked ripe tomatoes and green peppers straight from the garden, and combined everything with fresh lamb inside a traditional stone cooking pot. The stone pot was then placed inside a larger pot filled with salt, allowing the stew to cook slowly over the clay stove, creating a rich and unforgettable flavor that only traditional countryside cooking can offer. While the Dizi slowly simmered, I prepared fresh dough for baking traditional local village bread. As the dough rested, I strained the cooked red plums to remove the skins and pits before returning the smooth plum puree to the fire until it transformed into thick, flavorful homemade plum paste. The aroma of fresh bread, slow-cooked Dizi, and sweet plum paste filled the peaceful village air. Finally, the golden homemade bread came out of the oven just as the stone pot Dizi and the traditional plum paste were ready. I poured the fresh plum paste into glass jars for storage and served the delicious Dizi with warm homemade village bread, enjoying another simple yet unforgettable countryside meal.
