Ghormeh Sabzi – Persian Herb & Beef Stew with Dried Limes
This Persian Beef Stew known as Ghormeh Sabzi is something I grew up eating almost every week. Filled with fresh herbs and dried limes, the aroma of this stewed, herbaceous dish brings to the house is incredible and nourishing in itself, and instantly presences me to family Shabbat dinners.
One of the most popular dishes ordered in Persian restaurants, these Persian ground beef kabobs known as koobideh (or kubideh), are grilled to juicy perfection and you only need 5 ingredients to make them.
This mouthwatering koufteh, a Persian meat & rice dumpling soup, is filled with fresh herbs & spices. It's a heartwarming recipe you'll love not just on cold months, but all year round.
This fall-apart beef tongue is usually the star of our Persian Rosh Hashanah seder. I'm showing you a simple way to make it at home, with some great ideas for how to use the broth and leftovers.
Kotlet are delicious meat patties, the Persian version of meat cutlets, and can be made with either ground beef, lamb, or turkey. You'll find variations in the spices used depending on which part of Iran your family is from.
While these beef dishes are satisfying as they are, you can’t go wrong by adding a heaped plate of Persian saffron basmati rice, or go the extra mile and turn it into tahdig. I also love to serve these with a fresh vegetable side too like a classic Shirazi salad. Finally, a cool glass of sharbat is ideal to quench your thirst during your meal.
