Naan-o Paneer-o Sabzi (Bread, Feta and Herb Platter)

Step 1

Traditionally, walnuts are soaked to remove their bitterness and to make them crisp and more digestible. If you’d like to soak them, place them in a medium bowl and add a pinch of salt and enough ice-cold water to cover by 2 inches. Cover and soak in the refrigerator for 1 hour and up to 24 hours. Drain the walnuts.

Step 2

Arrange all the ingredients as casually or as artistically as you like on a platter and serve. To create a loghmeh (perfect bite): Take a piece of bread, place some feta in it, then pluck a couple of basil and mint leaves and set over the cheese, along with a piece of scallion and a walnut half. Roll up or fold over the lavash and eat. Follow with bites of watermelon, radish, cucumber and grapes.
