They make this version of the Hamadani pickle in Tabriz, where I had it with the famous Tabrizi Meatballs.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup/175 g dried apricots or 3 cups fresh pitted apricots
    • <

Method

  1. In a food processor, pulse all the ingredients with 1 cup/240ml water until coarsely chopped (if using fresh apricots, omit the water).
  2. Transfer the paste to a saucepan and sauté over medium heat for 2 minutes. Cover and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, until slightly glazed. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
  3. Transfer to a glass container and serve as needed.
