Recipe for Persian Charoset

[Behind the Aegis]

Passover is one of Iranian Jewish nutritionist and founder of Nooromid Nutrition Consulting Group Safa Nooromid’s favorite Jewish holidays because of the traditions and memories she recalls practicing in Iran.

Every year Nooromid prepares a Persian rendition of charoset that uses ingredients commonly found in the Middle East, such as dates, raisins and pistachios. The ingredients help give the charoset its pastelike consistency, rich color and taste and are a main staple for many Sephardic dishes.

Nooromid’s charoset recipe is great twist for anyone eager to incorporate Middle Eastern flavors into a seder this year.

1 cup raisins
½ cup chopped walnuts
1 cup dates (soaked and pitted)
1 cup sesame seeds
½ cup unsalted almonds
½ unsalted pistachios
½ to 1 cup red wine

and the rest...
