How this kind of dish is made

The source documents this dish but not a method specific to it. The steps below describe how dishes of this kind are generally made.

  1. Soak the dried legumes in advance and drain before cooking.

  2. Cook the soaked legumes and grains until partly tender.

  3. Combine with water or stock in a large pot.

  4. Add herbs, noodles, meat, or the dish-specific ingredients at the appropriate stage.

  5. Simmer gently, stirring regularly, until thick and fully cooked.

  6. Adjust seasoning and serve with fried onions, mint oil, kashk, or the traditional garnish.

Cook's notes

Add the noodles near the end because they quickly thicken the ash. If the kashk is salty, adjust the final salt only after the kashk is added.

Background

Ash Reshteh is not only a home dish; it also appears at Nowruz, communal offerings, winter gatherings, and family occasions. Its kashk, fried-onion, and mint garnish is an important part of its presentation and hospitality.
