Persian Paisley 'Plants

On our way back from seeing Macklemore & Ryan Lewis (and Eric Nally <3) we needed grub and it had started to rain so we popped into a place I had Yelp-scouted earlier. Limoo Tea Bar has alcoholic Boba Tea, and small plates, which are perfect for post-show-noms. Their Korean Fried Chicken is the best I've had (so far), and their eggplant dip is amaaaazing. Rather than drive the two and a half hours back, I figured it was more economical to make it at home. This Mizra Ghasemi recipe comes from Serious Eats, as an adaptation from "The New Persian Kitchen." Rather than beat the eggs into the mix, I poached (and nuked) an egg. Limoo Tea Bar has a soft fried egg on theirs, and I would say that's better than my microwave poaching. 

Serve warm with warmed pitas or your favorite bread. I also made Mast-o-musir, which is yogurt and shallots. Yus!
