How this kind of dish is made
The source documents this dish but not a method specific to it. The steps below describe how dishes of this kind are generally made.
Soak dried beans or chickpeas for several hours, preferably overnight; drain and refresh the water.
Sauté onion with oil and spices; add the meat or chicken and lightly brown it.
Add the legumes, herbs, vegetables, or other main ingredients and sauté briefly.
Add the seasoning and enough water, then simmer gently.
Add delicate ingredients such as prunes, unripe grapes, eggplant, or tender herbs later in cooking when appropriate.
When the meat is tender and the sauce has thickened, adjust salt and acidity and serve with rice.
Cook's notes
Sauté the ghormeh herbs thoroughly to develop their aroma, but do not burn them. Pierce the dried limes and give the stew enough low, slow cooking time to fully develop.
Background
Ghormeh Sabzi is one of the best-known stews of the Iranian table and is strongly associated with home cooking, family gatherings, and the ideal of a deeply developed, slow-cooked stew. Herb, legume, and dried-lime combinations vary by region.
