About Ash-e Reshteh

Ash-e Reshteh is a type of ash (thick soup) featuring reshteh (thin noodles) and kashk (a whey-like, fermented dairy product). There are more than 50 types of ash in Iranian cooking, this being one of the more popular types. The ingredients used are reshteh, kashk, herbs such as parsley, spinach, dill, spring onion ends and sometimes coriander, chick peas, black eye beans, lentils, onions, flour, dried mint, garlic, oil, salt and pepper. This is a soup that is vegetarian but can easily be made vegan by omitting the kashk.
