Sabzi khordan (Persian: سبزی خوردن Persian pronunciation: [sæbˌzi xoɾˈdæn]) or kanachi (Armenian: կանաչի) is a common side dish in Iranian and Armenian cuisines, which may be served with any meal, consisted of any combination of a set of fresh herbs (سبزی sabzi) and raw vegetables. Basil, parsley, and radishes are among the most common ones.
Most commonly it is served alongside the actual meal. It is sometimes served with feta cheese and naan bread (lavash, sangak, barbari) and also walnuts, to prepare a loghmeh (roll up sandwich) which is colloquially called Noon panir sabzi (نون پنیر سبزی).[1][2]
