easy no-frills vegetarian stew with beans, garlic and dill-scented eggs
White beans with dill-scented eggs is a comforting northern Iranian simple and vegetarian dish. This easy no-frills stew is my all-time favorite from one of my favorite places in the world, Gilan Province in the North of Iran.
Why am I in love with this dish? It's simple. Because it is simple to make and it has my favourite ingredients: eggs and garlic. Baghali ghatogh is often served over rice with a side of smoked fish. But feel free to leave the fish out if you don't fancy it.
