Khoresht-e Alu Morgh – Persian Chicken and Plum Stew with Saffron Tahdig

Khoresht-e Alu Morgh – Persian Chicken and Plum Stew with Saffron Tahdig

Ever smelled saffron drifting through an entire apartment building? My neighbors have. Sometimes they ring my doorbell just to find out what I’m cooking. Persian food is a feast for the senses, and to me, it’s simply the most delicious food in the world. It uses only a few fresh, high-quality ingredients, stays mild, rarely calls for garlic or hot spices, and always comes with a generous helping of love. This Khoresht-e Alu Morgh, a slow-cooked Persian chicken stew with dried plums and saffron, is easy to make. You just need a little patience. The chicken simmers low and slow so the flavors can melt together and deepen. We serve it with chelo, fluffy Persian rice, topped with a golden, crunchy saffron crust called tahdig.
