Sabzi Khordan

Fresh Herb Platter

I used to have a friend from Iran. And whenever we ate dinner at her house, I remember her platters of clipped herbs. They were always so crisp and refreshing. I loved it!

In reading Louisa Shafia's The New Persian Kitchen, I realize that these platters are on the table at almost every dinner. Where we have our green salads, they have their sabzi khordan. Use whatever herbs or greens you have. Tonight I used fresh mint, fresh dill, and baby lettuces.

Ingredients

feta cheese
olive oil
fleur de sel
freshly ground pepper
ground cumin
2 bunches of whole herbs or greens
nuts (traditionally, they serve walnuts; I had pistachios)
radishes, quartered
tomato, sliced into wedges
flatbread for serving

Procedure
Slice your feta cheese into serving-sized pieces. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and cumin.

Arrange your platter with alternating colors for a pleasing platter. I did: feta, fresh mint, yellow tomatoes, baby greens, radishes, and fresh dill with pistachios in the center.

To eat: pick up some herbs and place them in a manageable piece of flatbread. Stuff the flatbread with herbs, cheese, a radish or tomato, and nuts. Fold in half and eat. Delicious! I will definitely be serving sabzi khordan more often.

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy. Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found." Read her invitation here.

Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

If you've been reading my blog for even a short amount of time, you probably know how much I love to pickle things. I was just telling a friend you can pickle - with vinegar - or you can ferment - with salt - for similar delicious effect. The latter has digestive benefits and I love to do that, but when I need that pop of sour flavor quickly, I whip up quick pickles that are ready in as little as a day or two. I've Pickled Blueberries , Pickled Asparagus , Pickled Cranberries , Pickled Pumpkin , and even Pickled Chard Stems ! This I did last night for an upcoming recipe challenge that requires I include radishes. Ummmm...of course I'm pickling them! Ingredients makes 1 quart jar radishes, trimmed and sliced organic red onions, peeled and thinly sliced (I used a mandolin slicer) 3/4 C vinegar (I used white distilled vinegar) 3/4 C water 3 T organic granulated sugar 1 T salt (I used some grey sea salt) 6 to 8 grinds of black pepper Proce...
