Ingredients

Scale

1.5 large potatoes, boiled, peeled and grated

1 package of plain, plant-based chicken alternative (we used Daring)

1/2 cup water

1/8 tsp turmeric

1/8 tsp garlic powder

1/8 tsp onion powder

1/8 tsp salt

1/8 tsp pepper

1 container of Just Egg

1 cup green peas, cooked

5 large Persian pickles, finely chopped

5 tablespoons plant-based mayonnaise (we used Vegenaise)

Juice from half a lemon

additional salt and pepper, to taste


Instructions

1. Cut the potatoes in half and boil until tender. Once cooled, peel them by hand and grate them into a large mixing bowl.

2. Add the plant-based chicken alternative to a medium non-stick pan, add the water and spices, cover, and cook on medium/high heat for about 20 minutes until cooked and tender. Finely chop the plant-based chicken alternative.

3. Shake the Just Egg bottle and add to a lightly oiled non-stick pan on medium heat. Stir constantly until it cooks and stiffens into a scramble.

4. Cook the green peas until tender. Drain and let them cool.

5. Chop the pickles into small, bite-sized pieces.

6. Combine the Ingredients – In the mixing bowl with the grated potatoes, add the finely chopped plant-based chicken alternative, the scrambled Just Egg, the cooked green peas, and the chopped pickles. Combine with a spoon or by hand.

7. Add the plant-based mayonnaise and the juice from half a lemon. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Gently mix all the ingredients until well combined.

8. Add a thin layer of the plant-based mayonnaise to cover the dish. Decorate as desired (traditionally with pickles, radishes, tomatoes, or olives)

9. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Serve with bread or crackers.

10. Enjoy! Noosh-e-Jan!
