  • Reference sabzi khordan in episode #18, “Persian appetizers” for more conversations around sabzi khordan as an appetizer

Most common fresh herbs in sabzi khordan

  • Tarragon
  • Parsley
  • Cilantro
  • Basil
  • (Persian Cress)

Additional items are sometimes served in a sabzi khordan platter

  • Radishes – cleaned, trimmed, and sometimes cut in a decorative way

  • Feta cheese
  • Bread and butter
