Ash Reshte is a traditional Iranian soup made with noodles, herbs, legumes, and sometimes meat. It’s a hearty and flavorful dish that is often enjoyed during the winter months.
Here’s a recipe for making Ash Reshte:
Ingredients:
– 1 cup dried Reshte noodles (you can find them in Middle Eastern or Iranian grocery stores)
– 1/2 cup dried green or red lentils
– 1/2 cup canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
– 1/2 cup canned kidney beans, drained and rinsed
– 1 onion, finely chopped
– 3 cloves of garlic, minced
– 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
– 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
– 2 cups water – 2 cups chopped fresh spinach or kale
– 1 cup chopped fresh herbs (a combination of parsley, cilantro, and dill works well)
– 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
– 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Juice of 1 lemon
– Greek yoghurt (optional, for serving)
– Crispy fried onions (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
1. In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
2. Add the turmeric and cumin to the pot, and stir well to coat the onions and garlic in the spices.
3. Add the lentils, chickpeas, kidney beans, vegetable or chicken broth, and water to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 30 minutes, or until the lentils are tender.
4. Once the lentils are tender, add the chopped spinach or kale to the pot, and let it cook for a few minutes until wilted.
5. Add the Reshte noodles and chopped fresh herbs to the pot. Stir well to combine, and let the soup simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes to allow the flavours to meld together.
6. Season the soup with salt, pepper, and lemon juice to taste. Adjust the seasoning according to your preference.
7. Traditionally Persian add some fried mint to the Ash in this stage.
8. Serve the Ash Reshte hot, garnished with a dollop of Kashk or Greek yoghurt, some crispy fried onions, if desired. Enjoy your homemade Ash Reshte! It’s a delicious and comforting soup that can be enjoyed as a main dish.
