About Persian stew

Persian Stew, known as "Khoresht" in Persian cuisine, is a hearty dish packed with flavor and nutritional benefits. Typically slow-cooked, it combines tender cuts of meat like lamb or chicken with legumes, herbs, and vegetables such as eggplant, spinach, or tomatoes. Popular variations include Khoresht Ghormeh Sabzi, a herbaceous stew made with kidney beans and dried limes, or Khoresht Fesenjan, featuring ground walnuts and pomegranate molasses. Originating from Iran, these stews are celebrated for their depth of flavor and cultural significance. Nutritionally, Persian stews are rich in fiber, protein, vitamins, and antioxidants thanks to their use of fresh ingredients and balanced spices. However, higher fat content from oils or meats, and occasionally added sugars, may be a consideration for certain diets. Served over fragrant basmati rice, Persian stew is a wholesome, nourishing meal that showcases the healthful qualities of traditional Middle Eastern cuisine.
