LIKE WATER FOR CHOCOLATE - ROSE QUAIL RECIPE
1/2 dozen red rose buds
1/2 cup of slivered almonds
2 garlic cloves
2 tablespoons of butter
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons cornmeal
2 tablespoons anis

Chop the roses into small pieces and grind in blender with the almonds and garlic. Melt the butter and add honey. Stir the rose, garlic and almond mixture into the honey and butter. Add the cornmeal and anis. The mixture will be a thick paste. Use a spoon to spread onto the chicken. Bake the chicken as usual, basting if the coating gets too dry. The rose petals and anise will infuse the chicken with wonderful flavor.

Use additional rose buds or petals as a garnish when presenting the chicken.

What are some good recipes that use rose water?

We Answered:

Try Kheer (indian rice pudding). You add rose water to that.

There is also a persian style rice pudding that calls for it as well.

I dont have a recipe quickly right off hand but you can google it.

I also add it sometimes to my Baklava syrup (also persian)

Edit: Most Persian deserts call for rose water. See desert names below. Google for a recipe. I cant give them all :)
