There are two ways to make this recipe. The traditional way- with fresh herbs, or the shortcut way- by adding the amazing flavour of Exotic Bazaar Ghormeh Sabzi recipe base. In this blog post we will explore both options.
Aash Reshteh is a deeply nourishing Persian noodle soup, rich in herbs and legumes, and traditionally enjoyed during the Persian New Year. More than just a meal, it is a symbol of warmth and togetherness, often prepared in large pots and shared among family and friends. This hearty dish brings together aromatic herbs, slow-cooked legumes, and tender noodles, creating a perfect balance of textures and flavours. The final touch—crispy fried shallots, fragrant mint oil, and cooling yoghurt—elevates the dish, making it as comforting as it is flavourful.

Excellent, intense flavour. I coated pieces of chicken thigh in the ras-el-hanout, fried them with some garlic and onion, added a can of chickpeas and simmered everything for about 20 mins. It was very good with flat bread and a dollop of yoghurt, and even better the next day.
I hosted a morning tea for 11 women and the Persian Love Cake was a huge hit. It was the first time I had made it and it was simply delicious, so moist and beautifully fragrant. Such a beautiful aroma in the kitchen too while it was baking. I made it last night as directed for optimal flavour, then decorated it this morning. I already had the dried rosebuds to adorn the top of the cake.
I purchased the Love cake as an appropriate gift for my sister and brother-in-law’s 50th Wedding Anniversary. They were thrilled with the gift and said the cake was delicious.
We love this recipe and buy the pack regularly for special occasions or just make cupcakes for school lunches.
Delicious cake, always a treat and so simple to make & gift.
Highly recommend.
