"A good dish can be eaten twice." Tigran Petrosian

I think any smoked meat can be used in this soup.

Pomegranate seeds — or arils — have been symbols of fertility, prosperity, and eternal life for thousands of years. In ancient Persia and Greece, the pomegranate was considered a sacred fruit connected to goddesses like Persephone and Aphrodite. Today, it’s still a sign of good luck and renewal in many cultures — and nutrition-wise, it’s packed with antioxidants that support heart health and glowing skin.

You can use any meat for these patties. I prefer a mixture of beef, pork and veal in a 1:1:1 ratio.

Baklava gets better with time as the flavors meld together, making it even more irresistible the next day!
