Pairing Jachnun correctly — a note on mint lemonade

Most people overlook how much the right drink changes Jachnun. I ordered it with mint lemonade and the bright and fresh with herbs elements of the dish sharpened considerably against the pairing. pomegranate seeds in particular became more prominent in a good way.

Shabbat and holiday meals follow religious traditions that shape the food served. The a fusion restaurant mixing Mediterranean traditions is where you learn these pairings — they evolved together. If you've been having Jachnun with the wrong drink, try it correctly once. It's a genuinely different experience. The restaurant deserves credit for getting this right.
