Khoresht Ghaimeh - Persian Stew With Meat and Split Peas image

A hearty, tangy, and delicious Iranian recipe. It is a delicious blend of meat, split peas, tomatoes, and spices topped with french fries. When choosing a meat, select a "roast" type. From My Persian Kitchen.

Time 3h10m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb lamb (or you can use beef)
2 medium onions, diced
4 garlic cloves, minced
3 persian lemons
5 cups water
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans stewed tomatoes, diced
1/2 cup split peas
1 tablespoon tomato paste
4 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
2 teaspoons spices, advieh (this can be found at a Middle Eastern Market. Or you can use vegetable or chicken bouillon.)
salt and pepper
1 cup French fries (I use frozen)

Steps:

  • Heat a dutch oven or large pot over medium heat and add olive oil.
  • Add onions and garlic and cook until translucent.
  • Add meat and let it brown for a few minutes.
  • Once the meat is browned, add turmeric.
  • Give the pot a few stirs, allowing the spices to release their flavors.
  • Prick the Persian lemons with a fork and add to the pot with 5 cups of water. Season to taste.
  • Cover and cook one hour.
  • Add tomatoes, split peas, tomato paste, and advieh. Cook for 1 1/2 to two hours.
  • While the strew cooks, give it a stir every so often so the bottom does not stick. Adjust seasonings.
  • About 15 minutes before planning to serve your khoresht, cook the french fries. Depending on what kind you prefer, you can bake or fry them.
  • I bake them, so spray a cookie sheet with nonstick spray and add french fries. Bake at 400 degrees for 7 minutes on each side. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with salt.
  • Once the khoresht is done, place it in a serving bowl and top with french fries.
  • Serve over basmati rice.

This recipe is a keeper! I've made it several times now and it always turns out perfect. The only thing I do differently is add a little bit of saffron to the stew. It gives it a beautiful golden color and a wonderful aroma.
