Last night I made <a href=\"http:\/\/www.asiafood.org\/persiancooking\/saffronpudding.cfm\">Sholeh zard<\/a> for the first time (literal translation: yellow flame), which is basically saffron rice pudding.  It is usually made in remembrance of the dead, but honestly it is one of my favorite Persian dishes. I had a bunch of friends try it and I got pretty decent reviews&#8230;and it is pretty easy to make.<\/p>\n<p>For dinner I was at a friend&#8217;s house after work, so I had a limited number of ingredients.  I scrounged around (having brought slices of turkey lunchmeat and a red pepper), and this is what I came up with!
