Since I haven't posted any recipes over a long winter stretch - I'll just say a belated Eid Mubarak to those who just celebrated persian new year! With each spring equinox the sofreh (table spread) brings in the new year. Each home usually includes the following:
• Sabzeh, wheat or lentil sprouts representing rebirth.
• Samanu, wheat pudding represents reward and new growth.
• Seeb, apples symbolize health and beauty.
• Senjid, the dried fruit of lotus tree representing love.
• Sir, garlic for its medicinal qualities symbolizing good health.
• Somaq, thought to be the colour of the sun, symbolizing warmth
• Serkeh, vinegar represents old age, wisdom and patience
