آلو بخارا — ۱ پوند
V-Dried Plum Bokhara (alo bokhara) is a tart, deeply flavoured, and intensely aromatic dried Bokhara plum — one of the most essential, beloved, and culturally iconic ingredients in Persian cuisine. Alo bokhara holds a uniquely important place in Iranian cooking: it is the signature souring and flavouring agent in some of Iran’s most celebrated dishes, prized for its distinctive sweet-tart balance, its deep, complex fruity flavour, and its ability to add a beautiful depth and richness to khoresh and rice dishes that no other ingredient can replicate. Named after the ancient city of Bukhara (in present-day Uzbekistan), alo bokhara has been a cornerstone of Persian culinary tradition for centuries. It is most famously used in khoresh-e alo (Persian dried plum stew) and is a beloved addition to ghormeh sabzi, khoresh-e fesanjan, and other rich Persian stews where its tartness cuts through the richness and adds a beautiful fruity complexity. At $9.99/lb it is an excellent everyday pantry value. Sold by the pound.
Use as the star ingredient in a classic khoresh-e alo (Persian dried plum stew with chicken or lamb) for a rich, tart, deeply flavoured Persian khoresh, add to ghormeh sabzi for a tart, fruity depth that balances the rich herb and legume base, incorporate into khoresh-e fesanjan alongside pomegranate molasses and walnuts for an extra layer of fruity tartness, use in Persian rice dishes and stuffings for a tart, sweet-sour element, enjoy as a tart, chewy everyday snack straight from the bag, add to trail mixes and snack boards for a tart, fruity contrast, or brew as a refreshing tart drink by simmering in water with honey. A Persian pantry essential.
