100 BEST ’15: ASH RESHTEH at TASTE OF PERSIA

I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2015…

I have been completely seduced by Persian food this year. Keep your eyes peeled for a video all about my adventures discovering this aromatic cuisine. My favorite place to eat it is at Taste of Persia where every dish is intoxicating. Always on the menu is the deeply flavored ash reshteh, a bean stew with noodles, spinach, and lots of unique spices. It’s topped with kashk (similar to a yogurt) and lots of crispy garlic and fried shallots. Once you taste it, there’s no going back.
