    Ghormeh Sabzi is quite possibly the most popular Persian (Iranian) khoresh (stew), competing with the other awesome Persian stew, the Gheymeh Khoresh in popularity! I call this healthy khoresh the green goddess of Persian stews! You can make this stew with lamb and/or beef. You can use fresh herbs or re-hydrate dried and pre-packaged Ghormeh Sabzi herbs that are sold in Persian and Middle Eastern markets all over North America, Europe and Asia! (Sadaf brand is available everywhere) The combination of herbs used in this stew consist of leeks, parsley, cilantro, spinach and last but not least the aromatic Fenugreek that is the iconic herb giving Ghormeh Sabzi its signature aroma! Remember to make this khoresh a day or two in advance to let it settle; you won't regret it!

      Being an Indian i eat all the ingredients in this recipe and the only thing i would change is amounts "as needed" and brown the onion a bit more or till the oil comes out and then add the meat and cook it longer till its own fat is rendered and then the meat is fried in its own fat. Only then i will add water.

      Just came here to say the same thing. I always hit up Indian grocers for my fenugreek/methi. Even if I can't find it fresh they always have it in their frozen section; it is kind of like frozen spinach and I prefer using frozen to dried (though fresh is best).

    I will add for the gardeners out there: fenugreek is easy to grow in a home garden, and it even improves your soil! I recommend planting it in the early after you've harvested whatever vegetables you're growing and taken out those plants. It will grow pretty quickly and you can harvest it a few months later in late fall / early winter, at which point the soil is improved for next year's garden!

      @CafeBagheri  Před 11 měsíci +3

      The fundamental method of making a Persian stew is the same. Saute meat and whatever herbs & veggies you’re using and let it all simmer low and slow. For each khoresh there are regional variations. For ghormeh sabzi, the variations often relate to what herbs they put in it. Mint and spinach, for example, are regional. But fenugreek is a must for the pungant strong aroma and taste! It’s all good!

      Absolutely. Start with 1 Tablespoon of fresh lime juice about 5 minutes before finishing the long simmer and taste then add more if needed. You don’t want to add fresh lime juice too early because boiling/simmering it creates a bitter taste. Add it near the end.

    A few questions,
    Why don’t you add salt to the meat stew before you add the water with the turmeric?
    With the dried herbs do you fry those too?
    Thanks!

    • @CafeBagheri
      @CafeBagheri  Před rokem +4

      In Persian stews, because it’s such a long and slow simmer, it really makes no difference when you add the salt, as long as it has some time to penetrate the meat at the end. Also, generally, it’s safer to add little or no salt at the beginning and adjust at the end. Because you can always add but if you make it too salty by mistake, you can’t take the salt out!
      If you are using dried herbs, you soak them in water foor a few minutes to rehydrate, then squeeze out the moisture and fry them as you would fresh herbs.
      Enjoy!

      The most important of the herbs in this stew is Fenugreek. And that is the herb you will have the hardest time finding. Go to Amazon.com and search for SADAF GHORMEH SABZI.

      Fenugreek is used quite a lot in Indian cuisine as well, may be more accessible than a Persian specific market, look for Kasuri/Kasoori Methi - dried fenugreek leaves. It's delicious, as soon as I heard fenugreek I was like "Oh, I need to make this'. Hope that helps!

    Hi chef Bagheri. It is great that you are promoting Persian cooking. Just a couple of points:
    In general we use tougher cuts like leg or shoulder meats in stews. The reason is that these cuts have a lot connective tissues and are suitable for long cooking methods like braising or stewing. Steak cuts, including skirt steak are suitable for fast and dry cooking and can not stand this type of cooking application. I am sure if you refer to your main culinary text book you will find a table ( cuts of meat and their corresponding cooking methods) you will agree with me.
    Also, there is a relatively comprehensive Persian Cook Book “FOOD OF LIFE” by NAJIMEH BATMANGHLICH(J) in English on Amazon.

    • @CafeBagheri
      @CafeBagheri  Před 2 lety +2

      If you watch my video in full, you will see that I say the same exact thing about the choice meats for braising/slow simmering. I specifically say to leave more tender cuts for your steaks and kabobs. Skirt and flank steaks are not considered tender cuts. And the amount of fat in them are ideal for Persian stews. The most popular cuts of lamb used in Iran for khoreshes are Gholvegah (skirt and flank), neck and center of legs. I am quite familiar with Ms Batmanghlich’s books and own a couple of them. They are very fine books but the recipes in her books are largely her interpretations of authentic Iranian recipes. On that subject, it is worth mentioning there are as many versions of each dish as there are kitchens in Iran or anywhere! Each person makes a slightly different version. But for meat, stick with whatever cuts end up tender and tasty after 2+ hours of simmering; that means tougher cuts with fat and connective tissue that end up enriching the stew broth and leave you very tender chunks of meat. The long simmer is not intended just to break the meat. It’s essential to develop the stew flavor. So, generally, the focus is on technique not recipe! if you have already found and use a cut of meat that tastes good and is tender after 2+ hours of simmering…enjoy! Don’t worry about what Ms Najmeh or Ben say!

      The reason I mentioned that book was that in this video, chef Bagheri had made a reference to an old Persian cook book in Farsi and stated that its’ English version could be available on Amazon. Then a viewer made a comment that he couldn’t find that book in English. I simply mentioned an alternative book in English. Mr. Bagheri understood my point and appropriately responded to me.
      Also Chef Bagheri, in one of his previous videos, had mentioned that he was attending a culinary school (Escoffier). Having first hand experience with the material taught in culinary schools, I knew any culinary text book has a table about types of meats and their appropriate cooking methods. I stated my opinion about the type of the meat suitable for this dish and backed it up by mentioning a valid reference.
      I think we should end this exchange here!

    Don't add spinach, it completely changes the original taste of the ghorme sabzi. Parsley, cilantro, green onion and 2 tbs of dry fenugreek is all you need. If you make it in a slow cooker for 8 hours, it takes the dish to an entire different level. Oh.. and first you have to fry the vegetables until they get very dark.
