We recently ate at Chef Abbas in Gorinchem in his cozy restaurant. My google search for a Persian cuisine turned out absolutely amazing. Fantastic dishes. A passionate chef. Great. And this fesenjan stood head and shoulders above the rest. I asked for the recipe. I got the recipe. And I made it. Delicious. And the guests in our restaurant agreed.

Fancy a surprisingly tasty snack. That you haven’t eaten before? That everyone likes. That has a lot of different tasty layers? Well, you’re fine with this recipe then.

The photo doesn’t quite do it justice, but this is really an incredibly tasty snack. Slightly spicy but not too much. Delicious mouthfeel, the taste lingers but you still want more more. Delicious on softly baked pieces of pita bread in garlic oil. Then it’s perfect.

Arugula has a very distinct taste and this soup really comes into its own. Together with the other ingredients it forms a nice spicy soup.
