This is such a nutritious and soul satisfying dish. Don't rinse the walnuts. We need the bitterness for our digestive process. If more folks had a few bitter foods in there diet, the antacid dealers would go out of business.

I love bitter foods too! But soaking walnuts is an old Iranian practice, and it makes the nuts more digestible. Tastier too.

That's good to know, walnuts are nutrtious either way. Thank you, I will soak the nuts the next time I prepare this, as old practices in cooking are ones not to be skipped.

Yeah, the Iranians believe in food as medicine quite literally, all of the old cooking practices are very deliberate.
