Khoresht-e Gheymeh – Persian Lamb Stew with Dried Limes and Split Peas

Khoresht-e Gheymeh – Persian Lamb Stew with Dried Limes and Split Peas

There are dishes that simply feed you, and then there are dishes that tell a story. Khoresht-e Gheymeh – Persian Lamb Stew with Dried Limes and Split Peas is one of those stories. This deeply aromatic Persian stew is made with tender lamb (or beef/veal), yellow split peas (called lapeh), tangy dried Persian limes (limoo amani), tomatoes, and warm spices in a silky sauce. And in Iran, there’s one non-negotiable rule: it must be topped with crispy French fries. Khoresht-e Gheymeh is more than a Persian lamb stew. It’s comfort food with history and hospitality served on a platter. If you’ve never cooked Persian food before, this is a beautiful place to begin. Slow down. Let it simmer. And when you take that first bite, you’ll understand why this stew has been cherished for generations. A Dish that warms the soul.

Zereshk Polo ba Morgh - Persian Barberry Rice With Chicken

Zereshk Polo ba Morgh – Persian Barberry Rice With Chicken

Zereshk Polo ba Morgh – Persian Barberry Rice With Chicken is a simple, aromatic and traditonal persian dish, and a must have on a festive table. Zereshk Polo ba Morgh is a dish of tender chicken drumsticks braised in saffron and served with fragrant saffron rice and caramelized sweet and sour barberries. In Farsi Zereshk means barberries, polo rice, and morgh is simply chicken. Some Persians add tomato paste to the chicken drumsticks, but I personally prefer the pure flavor of saffron and bay leaves. This recipe can also be cooked with chicken breast or even a whole chicken.
