Diving into
#Nowruz with a bowl of Haft Mewa, aka ‘seven fruits.’ 🍇🌰
Think pistachios, almonds, walnuts, raisins, dried apricots, sultan’s raisins, black currants, Oleaster fruit, lotus tree fruits, soft pitted apricots, and cashews, all soaked until they’re bursting with flavor.
It’s more than just a tasty mix; it’s a cherished tradition in Afghanistan. Each mouthful is a celebration of unique tastes and textures, symbolising the sweetness and richness of life and our shared hopes for the year ahead—health, happiness, and prosperity. 🎉
Sharing this dish means sharing more than food; it’s about connecting to my roots for the new year. So, we let these fruits and nuts soak up all the goodness for 48 hours, creating a syrupy celebration in a bowl. Here’s to gathering around this delicious symbol of new beginnings. Cheers to the journey ahead! 🥂✨
