Sabzi Khordan

  • February 11, 2018
  • by Jono

This was a revelation when I discovered it – Sabzi Khordan is a simple herb salad, eaten as a side or a palate cleanser, full of sharp flavours, exciting and unusual.

This goes exceptionally well with a rich, fatty main meal, the sharpness cuts through the meatiness with perfect ease. With that said, it works as a “side salad” to most other lighter dishes as well, and it’s simplicity makes it very versatile.

Variations on this basic recipe include adding radish, feta cheese and eating it with a fresh hot flatbread. 
Apparently lemon and olive oil aren't "traditional" but they are very delicious, so we left them in the recipe.
