Sheer Yakh (Afghan Ice Cream)

A popular Afghan dessert. No two Afghans prepare the same dish exactly the same. Creativity is another element that contributes to the wonderful medley of flavors that make up Afghan cooking. From afghanweb. To make this vegan, you can use non dairy ice cream.

Noni Afghani (Afghan Bread)

Wonderful and easy bread – Afghan style. I fell in love with this at my favorite restaurant, Kabul, in Madison, WI. They have the most amazing bread ever. This is a good close approximation. Posting for my DD who also loves this one!

Afghan Tomato, Cucumber and Onion Salad (Salata)

“Salata is always light and crunchy, making it a perfect counterpoint to Afghan cuisine’s heavier dishes. Some Afghan cooks consider it a point of pride when the diced vegetables are small and uniform in size. The result reminds a little of a colorful bowl of confetti. For those in Afghanistan who can afford fresh vegetables, salata is a staple on the Afghan table. If you can’t get your hands on any decent tomatoes, hang onto the recipe until you can.” Modified recipe off http://www.afghancooking.net by Humaira Ghilzai and Katie Morford.
