Roasted eggplant—a native species—combined with organic-white-wine-cashew cheese and a medley of vegetables Through arts, literature, science, and religion, the cultures of the Middle East have been profoundly influential worldwide. Rumi, the 13th-Century Persian poet, who no doubt dined on Ghormeh Sabze, wrote some of the greatest love poems of all time. Our recipe, Sushi Salaam, incorporates tastes and aromas that would have colored Rumi’s world over 700 years ago.
As-salāmu alaykum translates to “peace be upon you” in Farsi and Arabic. This recipe was created in the hope that one day we will live in a world without violence and retribution
