Marinated Olives (Zeytoon Parvardeh)

In Northern cities of Iran, having pickled garlic with 7-10 years old and marinated olives in their daily meals is a MUST.

If you are an olive lover, so perhaps my following post can caught your attention. I love this salad or pickle which is called ‘ Zytoon Parvardeh زیتون پرورده’ or marinated olives with walnuts, pomegranate molasses, garlic and spices such as ground angelica. A lovely combination of these ingredients create beautifully a delicious dish with a unique flavour.

Olive is called ‘ Zeytoon زیتون ’ in Farsi and Arabic languages. There are recipes for marinated olives and this is Persian style marinated olives.

All my favourite things I mean, garlic, pomegranate, olive are in one package 😃😃

marinated olives or zeytoon parvarddeh, is a tasty Persian dip/ salad or pickle from Gilan Province near Caspian Sea in North of Iran.

Like other recipes, there are different versions of this salad/pickle. In some recipes use whole olives in other recipe use minced olives. I personally prefer to use not minced olives.

Ingredients

500g olives, remove stones
1 cup walnuts, finely chopped
3-4 garlic cloves, grated (You can add more garlic if you wish)
1 cup pomegranate molasses
1 tbsp ground angelica (Golpar)
1tbsp dried mint or Thymes
3 tbsp virgin olive oil

How to make it?????

If pitted olives are very salted, it is better to rinse them under cool water. Then in a large bowl add pitted olives (as whole olives or roughly chopped), chopped walnuts, grated garlic, olive oil, pomegranate molasses and ground angelica ( give beautiful taste and fragrance to the salad).

Stir well and ready to serve main course like rice , or fish dishes and bread.

You may store zeytoon parvardeh in a jar with tight lid and keep in the fridge for several months.

زیتون پرورده

در شهرهای شمالی ایران مثل گیلان و رودبار همراه بودن غذا با سیر ترشی چندین ساله و زیتون پرورده

یک باید هست .

اگر شما طرفدار زیتون هستید زیتون پرورده جزو ترشی هایی هست که حتمن شما از اون لذت خواهید برد.

زیتون پرورده از ترکیب زیتون با گردو – رب انار و ادویه ی گلپر تهیه میشه. طرز تهیه زیتون پرورده متنوع هست در بعضی از دستورها از نعنا خشک یا سبزی محلی استفاده میشه. در یک دستور زیتون هارو چرخ میکنن در دستور بعدی زیتون رو خرد میکنن. ولی من شخصن زیتون خرد شده بیشتر

رو بیشتر ترجیح میدم.

مواد لازم

پانصد گرم زیتون بدون هسته

یک پیمانه گردوی خرد شده

سه چهار حبه سیر رنده شده : اگر دوست داشتید سیر بیشتر هم می تونید بزنید

یک پیمانه رب انار

یک ق غ گلپر

یک ق غ نعنا خشک یا آویشن خشک

سه ق غ روغن زیتون

طرز تهیه

داخل یک‌کاسه زیتون هارا یا به صورت درسته یا خرد شده همراه با گردوهای خرد شده – سیر رنده شده– روغن زیتون – رب انار و پودر گلپر ریخته و با هم خوب مخلوط کنید تا همه ی مواد با هم ترکیب شوند.

زیتون پرورده از همان لحظه تهیه قابل مصرف هست ولی بهتر است چند ساعت در یخچال نگه داری شده تا تمام عِطر و طعم را بهخود بگیرد.

در ضمن بهتر است ترشی را داخل یک بطری دردار و در یخچال نگه داری گنید.

Hello everyone, my name is Rozina. I am Iranian with Azerbaijani roots. I was raised in Iran but I am living in Scotland. I am passionate about cooking and preparing meals for my family and friends. I tell them the story behind the meal, the pronunciation of their Iranian name and the spices that used in Persian cuisine. I am a photographer, a cooking teacher, and very interested to introduce Persian and Azerbaijani meals, desserts and beverages to people from different cultures, as I love to try food from all over the world. Iranian cuisine is a combination of rice with meat ( chicken, beef, lamb, fish, turkey), nuts, fruits, dried and fresh herbs and vegetables. Iranian food is a celebration of flavor, colour and spices such as: saffron, cinnamon, cardamom, turmeric, dried rose petals, dried limes, cumin, .... I share my recipes in Farsi/English along with step by step photos of preparation. I take all my own pictures. I have learned my traditional Persian and Azerbaijani recipes from my lovely mother, and she has learned from her mother. Over the years, I have experimented and learned more recipes. Some of my recipes are a fusion Western and Middle Eastern cuisine. Some are forgotten from Persian cooking tables and I try with posting and sharing those ones, to preserve them. All my recipes and pictures are property of rozinaspersiankitchen. I would be pleased if you would mention my site if you wish to use any of them. So, if you are interested to know about Persian /Azerbaijani food taste, you can try my website. I will be glad to hear your ideas about my recipes. :) Thank you for visiting my website.
