Rural daily life gilan:village house gilan in iran|making cocoa potato 🥔😋 and pickled eggplant 🍆🥕🧅🫑

In the heart of Gilan, nestled among lush green fields and rolling hills, lies a charming rural house where traditional recipes come to life. The air is filled with the aroma of fresh herbs and spices as the family gathers in the cozy kitchen to prepare two beloved dishes: potato kuku and eggplant pickles.
Potato Kuku: The process begins with peeling and grating fresh potatoes, which are then mixed with finely chopped onions, garlic, and a medley of fragrant herbs such as parsley and dill. Eggs are beaten and added to the mixture, creating a rich and savory batter. The batter is then poured into a hot, oiled pan and cooked until golden brown and crispy on the outside, yet tender and flavorful on the inside. The result is a delicious potato kuku, perfect for sharing with loved ones.
Eggplant Pickles: Meanwhile, the eggplants are carefully washed and sliced, ready to be transformed into tangy pickles. The slices are salted and left to drain, removing any bitterness. They are then layered in a jar with garlic, fresh herbs, and a mixture of vinegar and spices. The jar is sealed and left to marinate, allowing the flavors to meld together over time. The pickles are a delightful accompaniment to any meal, adding a burst of flavor and a touch of Gilan’s culinary heritage.
In this rural house, the art of cooking is a cherished tradition, passed down through generations. Each dish tells a story of love, family, and the rich cultural tapestry of Gilan.
