Dish

Zeytoon parvardeh

Dips and Spreads

Zeytoon parvardeh, whose Persian name zeytun parvarde means processed olives, is an Iranian cold appetizer built on olives and tied by its source to Gilan province in northern Iran. The English Wikipedia article describes it as a combination of olives, pomegranate molasses, walnuts, garlic, mint, blue eryngo and parsley, a mixture that can be found made industrially or at home in Iran. It is served cold, as a condiment alongside the main dish rather than as a main course in itself, so it sits with the relishes and dips of the Iranian table. The article gives no date for the dish and no recipe quantities, so this entry records only what the source states about its ingredients, serving temperature, region and role at the meal.
