One of the nostalgic sandwiches of our childhood in Iran is Sandvich Makaroni. Most people who grew up in Iran will have a memory around enjoying this sandwich filled with Persian-style macaroni.
You can prepare this sandwich for picnics, gatherings, or parties. I’m sure your children would love it. Make the Iranian Macaroni first and then turn them into a sandwich. It’s also a great way to use leftover Makaroni.
Here is a short video of the cooking process on my Instagram.

Time
Prep: 5 min
Cook: 10 min
Total: 15 min
Ingredients (serving 4)
Enough cooked Iranian Makaroni to fill 4 sandwich breads
Bread of choice to serve (eg ciabatta, baguette, flatbread, gluten-free, wholegrain, …) I use ciabatta bread as it tastes very similar to Noon Bolki
4 tomatoes
2 tbsp butter
Salty pickled cucumbers (khiaar shoor) or gherkins
Lettuce, chopped parsley, or salad leaves of choice
Method for making Persian Macaroni Sandwich
Place a frying pan over medium heat and add the butter.
Once the butter is melted you can transfer the Makaroni into the pan.
Fry for about 5 minutes until a nice golden crust appears on them
Serve your delicious Sandvich Makaroni
Fill your sandwich bread with fried macaroni. Add some tomatoes, mayonnaise, finely chopped parsley, lettuce, herbs and khiaar shoor (salty pickled cucumbers) if you like. Enjoy!
