Meygoo Polo (Havari Meygoo) – Persian Prawn Rice
Meygoo Polo is a flavourful prawn rice dish from the south of Iran. Having prawns as one of the main ingredients, as well as its subtle heat make this dish so unmistakably southern.
Like so often every region in the south of Iran prepares this dish a little differently. One thing I’d recommend is using quite small prawns, so that you have one in at least every other spoon of rice.
Do Piazeh Meygoo - Spicy King Prawns and Onions
Do Piazeh Meygoo is a tantalising seafood dish hailing from the southern coasts of Iran, where the rich flavours of the Persian Gulf come alive. The name itself is rooted in the Farsi word piaz, meaning onion, with Do Piazeh referring to dishes where onions take centre stage. In this recipe, succulent prawns are combined with caramelised onions, aromatic turmeric, and tender potatoes to create a dish that is both simple and flavour-packed. With minimal cooking time, Do Piazeh Meygoo is perfect for a quick yet satisfying meal. For a lighter version, you can skip the fried potatoes and enjoy it as a healthy option, served with bread, rice, or a fresh salad. This versatile dish truly showcases the vibrant culinary traditions of southern Iran.
