In early 2008 we spent a few days in the northwest Iranian city of Tabriz. We wanted to go to Tehran but all the roads were closed by snow so instead we got to know Tabriz. One of our favourite routines became going for breakfast at tiny restaurants that served honey, freshly drained from the honeycomb, along with a thick, spreadable cream and warm bread for breakfast. So simple yet so delicious. The bread should be like a plain naan bread and you can serve this with either sugary tea (no milk for Iranian style) or plain hot milk. A lighter version of this is yogurt with honey mixed in. Iranians also like honey and butter together on bread. Honey and just about anything is good!
Very good. I used keshta which is thick cream that comes in a can and is available in Middle Eastern and Persian stores. I wonder what exact type of cream Iranians use for this breakfast generally? I served it with a creamed, local, organic, raw, honey as part of suhoor (breakfast before the dawn and fajr prayer during Ramadan) I would use this recipe again.
