Ghormeh Sabzi 🌿

Method

1. 1

   Wash herbs, dry well, and chop very fine. Fry them in oil over medium heat 8–10 minutes until dark green and fragrant — this step is the soul of the dish, do not rush it.

2. 2

   In a separate pot, brown onions in oil, add meat chunks and sear; stir in turmeric and pepper.

3. 3

   Add the fried herbs, soaked beans and water. Bring to a boil, skim, then simmer covered 90 minutes.

4. 4

   Pierce dried limes with a fork, soak 10 min in warm water, then drop into the stew. Simmer another 20–30 minutes until oil floats green on top.

5. 5

   Season with salt, serve over steamed basmati rice with the lime broth spooned over.
