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.

Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found." Read her invitation here.
