Food Friday: Afghanistan


Traditional Afghan Cooking!
 
Quabili Pallow



         This is a traditional Afghan dish. It is served to special guests or on special occasions such as weddings. Cooking and food has a very important role in Afghan culture. Unexpected guests might be seen as rude or an imposition in western culture, but not in Afghan culture. Anyone that shows up to eat will leave full and happy. It is typically made with lamb shank, carrots, a variety of spices including cinnamon, cardamom, cumin, and saffron (all very middle eastern spices), and takes around only 30 minutes to prepare!
If you would like to try Quabili Pallow or other Afghan dishes, you can go to Kabul Afghan Cuisine which is located in Seattle.
