Rice-filled rastegai
Description
The baking is simple and quick. In my opinion, rice-filled rastegai turn out quite bland. I had some leftover fish, so I decided to add it to the filling—and I recommend you do the same! Overall, for making rastegai with rice, you can also use mackerel, potatoes, or eggs as additions. As for greens, I recommend using green onions. Serve the ready rastegai with sour cream—it goes very well.
