"This tangy soup is low-fat, quick and easy to prepare! It is a copycat-of a-copycat recipe from the soup served at Reza's, a Persian restaurant in Chicago (so called because I have never been to Reza's, but once had someone else's imitation of it!). Sumac powder and dried limes can both be found at Middle Eastern groceries or ethnic stores...."

"I got this recipe out of the Fitness Food Cookbook, a christmas gift from my sister. I'm copying this recipe as is but will probably sub half the ingredients-- I don't care for goat cheese, I'll probably use feta. And I never heard of hazelnut oil; I'd sub with olive or sunflower oil. Lemon pepper would also be a nice sub for black..."

"Adapted from a Jeffrey Steingarten (_The Man Who Ate Everything_) article about affordable eating. There isn't a lot of meat for the number of servings, but it's plenty, especially with the protein from the lentils and the carbs from the rice.

"Found online at an Iranian student website and posted per a recipe request."

Ingredients: dried mint, dry green lentils...

"Lentils, black eyed peas and fine noodles make up this soup. Meatballs are dropped into simmering soup and garnished with mint, pepper and cinnamon. Ashe is the Persian word for soup and a cook is an Ash-Paz or “maker of the soup.” Soups are as important today in the cuisine of modern Iran as they were in ancient Persia."

Ingredients: cinnamon, dried black-eyed peas...

"This thick soup of herbs, greens, legumes, grains, and noodles is cooked in a fried onion based liquid. It is customarily served as a starter before the actual meal is served.

"Wheat and Vegetable Stew, Iranian (Persian)"

Ingredients: cooking oil, split peas...

"This is a delicious Persian recipe for meatballs with lentils, split peas & black eyed beans. If you don't have Kashk you can use sour cream, also you can use sumac or a little tamarind paste / powder in place of the pomegranate powder or just leave it out. Preparation time doesn't include soaking time!"

Ingredients: dried split peas, dried brown lentils...

"This is one of my favorite recipes! It is a thick Persian stew (or aash) flavored with fresh herbs, tangy pomegranate syrup and tiny meatballs. You may want to prepare the aash a day in advance, it tastes even better the second day, after the flavors have melded. The meatballs may be omitted or substituted with vegetables such as mushrooms.

"One of my favorite Iranian soups! This is a hearty and filling vegetarian soup that is enjoyed by many Iranians. You can use dried beans and cook them yourself; however, I use canned beans to save time. Personally, I don't think this dish is complete without the traditional ingredients of reshteh and kashk. Reshteh is an Iranian noodle that is..."
