I love the vast array of different foods you can try in Southampton. I fancied trying something different, and decided to order Persian food for the first time, from Melo Persian Restaurant<\/a> in Swaythling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other food that arrived was tasty, such as BBQed vegetables in a naan, but it was the Persian noodle soup (Ash Reshteh) that made me want to write this blob entry, as it was like nothing else I’ve ever tasted before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The predominant flavours of the soup are the spinach, greens, parsley and Persian herbs and spices. The texture is provided by the noodles and the beans. I ordered mine ‘with Kashk’, which is a type of feta-esque whey cheese, though I made the mistake of mixing it in before taking the above photo. To compensate for this I added some extra dried cheese on top, along with some Aleppo pepper (‘pul biber’, available in international food stores) and fresh lemon juice, which seemed to complement it well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Impressively we got 2 good sized portions from the Ash Reshteh, which priced as a starter cost just \u00a35.50. I definitely recommend giving it a go!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
