    Lot of herbs in this dish and great to wash and prep everything before getting started. Otherwise it’s easy and flavorful and a perfect vegetarian meal.

    This was a delicious Sunday night dinner consumed in one sitting. Will use less cinnamon sticks next time as I found the cinnamon overpowering and won’t bother with the chilli oil instead perhaps using a little chilli paste. The cheats preserved lemon was a great addition and definitely worth doing. Will definitely make again.

    I enjoyed this comforting soup a lot. I loved the nod to ash-e reshteh (I think we should follow Noor's suggestion to call this recipe asheroni!) with the cooked-down herbs. I didn't have a lot of time so I used a jarred preserved lemon instead of making the one in the recipe, and added Calabrian chilli paste on top instead of making the chilli oil. Doing it like this is actually not that much work and I loved the flavours.

    This recipe was good. Not mind blowing, but good. I’m finding that Ottolenghi recipes somehow use 100 ingredients and never taste like it. All the herbs kinda got muddled together from the cooking. The lemon was a nice touch. The chili oil was probably not necessary and didn’t contribute much. Just really so many steps for something that was just ok.

    I love preserved lemon and always have it on hand, but this cheat's preserve is a fun take on not waiting endless months. The minestrone is hearty and vegetable laden.
