Hi Eaters,
In the last few months I've had dinner at the home of some Persian as well as Palestinian friends. Each time I was served some sauteed vegetables that seem to have something special. They were a side dish, meant to accompany rice. The veggies were just what was available seasonally, but there was a common savoury flavour that I can't put my finger on. Likely it's a flavour common to the region and not those two places specifically.
Both times the veg were also cooked til they were very soft. Normally this turns me off completely, but for some reason, I dug it both times.
Anyone have any ideas?
