سير ترشي

Sir Torshi (Aged Pickled Garlic)

Discover the unique and complex flavours of Chef Javad’s Sir Torshi, a treasured authentic Persian pickle (torshi). This traditional condiment is a special offering at Chef Javad Restaurant, celebrated as one of London’s best for experiencing genuine Persian cuisine.

Sir Torshi features whole cloves of garlic, patiently pickled and aged over time (often years). This aging process transforms the garlic’s pungency into something truly special: a tangy, mellow, and subtly spiced flavour with hints of sweetness.

Often dark in colour from the aging process, this pickled garlic is a classic accompaniment (mokhalafat) served alongside rich Persian stews and chargrilled kebabs. Its unique taste cuts through richness and adds a fascinating depth to the meal.
