Embrace the changing of season by setting up a Sofreh Mehregan or trying out a new Persian recipe. Mehregan is the celebration of love, friendship, and a good harvest or bounty.
Similar to other ancient Persian holidays, there is a dedicated sofreh setting for Mehregan. Typical items on the Mehregan sofreh include a mirror, candles, espand/esfand, wheat, grapes and other fall fruits, ajeel trail mix or nuts in the shell. A holy book or book of poetry, coins, sweets, and sunflowers round out the table setting. The main color of Mehregan is purple with accents of yellow, orange, and red.
Bita and Beata talk about their previous Mehregan events and traditions and their plans for a Northern California event to spread the word and joy of this cultural celebration.
In the second half of the episode, the Beats dig into what they have been cooking and eating lately.
Beata's Saffron Braised Lamb Shank recipe.
