Abgoosht/Dizi – Persian Lamb Stew, also known as Dizi or Abgusht, is a delicious and traditional Persian lamb broth that combines elements of both stew and mash. The name “Abgoosht” translates roughly to “meat broth,” with “Ab” meaning water and “Goosht” meaning meat.

Traditionally, it is cooked and served in a clay pot called “Dizi,” which is placed over hot coals.
