The Magic Base... For every (Persian) stew

The idea of cooking used to be very daunting for me.  The idea of cooking Persian meals was even worse until my mom taught me how to make the Magic Base, which is used in almost every Persian stew.  Now I make Persian stews with ease and even add my own twists to them.  

Eggplant and Zucchini Stew ... YUM!

Beef and Green Bean Stew (recipe coming soon)

Since the Magic Base has helped me so much, I'll share the recipe with you and in future stew series posts, I will refer to it as the Magic Base instead of going over its details again.  Enjoy the recipe and stay tuned for my stew series.  [warning:  your kitchen will smell amazing by the time you're finished with this base!]

Good luck!
