What You'll Need
Ingredients
  • 1 onion
  • 400 grams meat
  • 3 Limoo amani
  • 200 grams ghormeh sabzi herbs
  • 1/2 cup red beans
  • as needed oil
  • as needed black pepper and salt
  • 1 tablespoon turmeric powder
Directions
  1. First, peel and wash the onion and chop it into small pieces. Then pour oil in the pot and fry the onions until they turn a little golden.
  2. Then we add the meat, which we have already divided into suitable pieces, to the onion and fry until the meat turns gray.
  3. At this stage, add turmeric and black pepper to the ingredients and fry.
  4. Then we add the ghorme Sabzi vegetables that we have already fried. Pay attention that ghorme Sabzi is a combination of several different vegetables that I mention in the tips.
  5. Then we add the red beans that we have soaked the night before to the pot and fry them.
  6. It is time to add limoo amani. For a better flavor, I peel the Amani lemon and remove the seeds, finely chop it, and add it to the stew.
  7. All the ingredients were fried well, it's time to add water. I add water to a level that covers the entire material and is 4 cm higher than the material.
  8. Then I put the lid on the pot and increase the heat until it reaches the boiling point. I reduce the heat to the boiling point and let the ingredients cook together for 4-5 hours.
  9. Then I go to the rice. Depending on the type of rice, I soak the rice in water and salt for 2 hours and prepare it. I fill a pot with boiling water and pour it inside. I let the rice boil for 4 minutes. Then I drain the rice and pour oil on the bottom of the pot or put lavash bread or potatoes as tahdig. Then I add the rice. I close the lid of the pot and increase the heat and wait for 5 to 10 minutes for the rice to steam. Then I lower the flame and let the rice cook for 30 to 45 minutes.
  10. After 5 hours, I go to the stew and check that the stew has settled and is not watery. I check that the beans and meat are fully cooked, then I add salt in the last ten minutes. Congratulations, khoresh ghormeh sabzi is ready. You can eat this authentic Iranian food with rice. Along with this dish, you can also use Shirazi salad and enjoy it.
