Sohan asali

소한 아살리

Iranian honey confection

About this dish

Sohan asali is a kind of Iranian confectionery originating in Isfahan, Iran. It is made from honey, sugar, saffron, almonds, pistachios and other nuts. It is akin to a hard toffee, being brittle and breaking into shards. It differs from the more ubiquitous confectionery from the city of Qom (sohān-e-Qomi) as it uses no wheat and much less butter and oil. This makes it less short and able to hold its structure, whereas sohān-e-Qomi can disintegrate into powder when pressed hard.
