Tahdig Lavash
Growing up in a Persian household meant eating rice every night with dinner. No matter the dish, my parents would make the dish the way they were taught: a 2-part cooking process that yielded the most delicious thing on Earth, tahdig. “Tah” means “end of” and “dig” means “pot”. At the end of the pot was the treasure, a beautifully golden brown and crispy layer of rice. I remember racing against my siblings to take the biggest, most-delicious looking piece as soon as it was set on the table. This still goes on to this day. Oftentimes, tahdig is layered with other ingredients that are delicious when crispified, like lavash bread!
