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.

Caulibits Crni Rižoto (Croatian Black "Risotto") #Whole30

Last week, I participated in the Wine Pairing Weekend event 'New Year, New Wine." I paired Crni Rižoto with Dingac Vinarija’s Pelješac...and you can read my post: here . I was pouring a Croatian wine and decided to make a traditional Croatian dish. Every seafood restaurant in Croatia has a Crni Rižoto (black risotto) on its menu. Crni Rižoto is risotto dyed black with squid ink; I used cuttlefish ink for the same effect. However, since arborio rice is not Whole30 compliant, I made a version for myself that used caulibits instead of rice. Ingredients 1 C fish stock (or a combination of fish stock and vegetable stock) 1 T olive oil 1 medium shallots, peeled and minced 1 cloves garlic, crushed and minced 1/4 lb shrimp 1/4 lb squid tubes, cleaned and sliced into rings 1/4 lb scallops 1/4 lb clams, scrubbed 1/4 lb mussels, scrubbed 4 C caulibits, or chopped cauliflower 1 T fresh parsley, minced juice and zest from 1 organic lemon 1 t cuttlefish ink

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. And there won't be a Twitter chat for this event, so you will have to dive into the articles themselves to read about our pairings and findings. Here's the line-up...
