Ashak, [Pashto/Persian: اَشَک], is an Afghan dish made of pasta dumplings filled with chives, with a (frequently meaty) tomato sauce, topped with yogurt and dried mint.[1][2] A time-consuming meal to prepare, it is usually served on holidays or at special gatherings.[3] It's similar to the Central Asian Mantu, which is also popular in Afghanistan, however Mantu is usually, in contrast to Ashak, non-vegetarian.
