Crock Pot Persian Lamb Stew

Fri, 01 Mar 2002 09:46:07 -0500

Persian lamb stew sends wonderful flavors your way - not spicy - just a nice blend of flavors. A meal in one pot. Serve with a salad on the side and crusty rolls to scoop up the last of the sauce. I was very pressed for time today to make this recipe so I just put everything in the crock pot with out browning anything and it turned out heavenly - 1/2 hour on high then 4 hours on low. I used 4 shoulder steaks bone in. I did cut off any fat. Also I threw in a carrot. I love this recipe. -- posted by Bergy

Wash Day Stew

Fri, 03 Mar 2006 10:49:48 -0500

This is an Iranian recipe. In Iran this would be made on wash day. (Prepared early in the morning and cooked slowly all day over hot coals.) I've modernized it a bit, adding chicken broth in place of the water and canned tomatoes instead of fresh. The original recipe is strained and stuffed into pita bread. I serve it with the liquid and pita bread on the side. -- posted by mandagirl

Iranian Meat and Apple Stew

I tend to think of apples as being matched with pork but here they complement the lamb very well. Some may want to add more salt. -- posted by echo echo

Iranian Rhubarb Khoresh

Tue, 24 Oct 2006 20:21:44 -0400

This is a recipe I found in The Age Newspaper last year -'05. It was the author's own mucking about from a few sources so may not be 100 % authentic - but then not much is... It's a wonderful sour dimension from the fruit combined with the fattiness of the lamb and punch of mint. Worth a try, really unusual. Even better the next day... -- posted by Aunty Dotty

Royal Persian Lamb

Tue, 10 Jul 2007 22:11:10 -0400

A slight variation on Madhur Jaffrey's Royal Lamb or Beef with a Creamy Almond Sauce also known as Shahi Korma. Having travelled a little in current day Iran this style of curry was not to be found anywhere. Although Lamb is ever popular the closest "curry" style dishes are the Beryani dishes from the Esfahan region. It is likely that these and others were more heavily spiced as the cuisine moved south through Pakistan and India where the delights of Kashmiri, Biryani and Korma style curries were perfected. That's my guess anyway - Enjoy, this is a special one for lovers of silky spiced creme sauces. -- posted by Jorge&Dellie

Bademjan - Delicious Persian Stew

Mon, 05 Nov 2007 01:09:07 -0500

Bademjan means eggplant in Farsi (otherwise known as Persian, the language spoken Iran). This stew works fantastically with Persian rice (Polo) and is a dish which can be modified for vegetarians very easily. Such comfort foodeveryone will enjoy this dish. -- posted by Persian Cook

Persian / Iranian Ghalieh Esfanaaj

Wed, 16 Apr 2008 18:49:58 -0400

This is a delicious Persian recipe for meatballs with lentils, split peas & black eyed beans. If you don't have Kashk you can use sour cream, also you can use sumac or a little tamarind paste / powder in place of the pomegranate powder or just leave it out. Preparation time doesn't include soaking time! -- posted by Um Safia

Lis'an El Qa'thi - Judges' Tongue (Iraqi Stuffed Eggplant)

Sun, 28 Jun 2009 17:25:39 -0400

Amazing recipe if you love Middle Eastern cooking like me. This dish is Iraqi (in my case, Iraqi-Israeli). It wouldn't surprise me if there was a Persian variant on this dish, because it combines stuffing vegetables with spiced ground meat, and simmering it deliciously in a tasty sauce. It can be served over any type of rice, and has a lot of juice/gravy that is just delicious. It is quite easy (though there are a few steps, none are difficult). This dish is kosher, but cannot be mixed with dairy products of course. It is a powerful and tasty dish, and I suggest that everyone try it. Warning - due to the appearance, I'm not sure how much little children (who are not Middle Eastern) would like it; though if they managed to try it, they would fall in LOVE. For the perfect compliment to this already amazingly rich dish, having hummus, tahina, and hot sauce (schug), and/or amba (an Iraqi pickled mango) - any middle eastern spread/dip. My mouth is watering just thinking about it all. -- posted by Kahane Tsadek
