Iran’s popular relish is packed with vegetables, herbs and spices, Called Torshi Liteh

Torshi (ترشی) means pickle and Liteh (لیته) means cooked and smashed vegetables.

What do you eat Torshi Liteh with?

Torshi Liteh tastes strong from the herbs, spices and vinegar so you only need a little on your plate to change your dining experience. This pickle goes particularly well with oily foods because the strong spices and vinegar help balance out heavier flavours. Traditionally, Torshi Liteh is particularly served with minced meat kebab but can go with a variety of Iranian (or other) dishes such as:

• Abgoosht (a mutton stew with chickpeas)
• Koofteh (meatballs)
• Gheimeh (split pea stew)
• Vegan Iranian Spaghetti Bolognese – Macaroni with tahdig – ماکارونی
• Lubia Polo – لوبیا پلو – green beans, mince and rice
