👨‍🍳 Instruktioner

1
Prepare the sumac liquid: In a bowl, combine the sumac powder with 2 cups of warm water. Let it soak for at least 30 minutes. After soaking, strain the liquid through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing gently to extract as much flavorful liquid as possible. Discard the solids. You should have a vibrant red-purple liquid.
⏱️ 30 minutes (soaking) + 5 minutes (straining)
2
Sauté aromatics and herbs: Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat (approx. 180°C / 350°F). Add the finely chopped onions and sauté until softened and translucent, about 8-10 minutes. Add the chopped mixed herbs and sauté for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the herbs.
⏱️ 10-13 minutes
3
Add rice and liquid: Stir in the rinsed rice and cook for 1 minute, stirring to coat the grains. Pour in the 8 cups of water or broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is partially cooked.
⏱️ 25 minutes
4
Add sumac liquid and meatballs: Stir in the strained sumac liquid. If making meatballs, form the ground meat into small, bite-sized balls and add them to the pot. Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Bring the soup back to a gentle simmer.
⏱️ 5 minutes
5
Simmer and thicken: Continue to simmer the soup, uncovered or partially covered, over low heat for at least 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally. The soup will thicken as the rice breaks down and the flavors meld. The final consistency should be thick but still pourable. Adjust seasoning if needed.
⏱️ 30-40 minutes
6
Serve: Ladle the hot Ash-e Somagh into bowls. Traditionally, it is served with a drizzle of kashk on top. Enjoy the unique sour and savory flavors.
⏱️ 5 minutes

Inspiration till din egen version av detta recept

For a more intense sour flavor, increase the amount of sumac used.
Omit the meatballs for a vegetarian or vegan version (ensure broth is vegetable-based).
Add other vegetables like finely chopped leeks or spinach along with the herbs for added nutrition and texture.
