She wrote, ‘This weekend I shared one of my favorite Iranian dishes, Ghormeh Sabzi, with my colleagues at the space station. Of course, we traditionally ate it with rice, but unfortunately, there was no Tahdig.’
Ms. Moghbeli further wrote that it seems her colleagues at the space station enjoyed the dish.
