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.

  1. Sauté onion with oil and spices; add the meat or chicken and lightly brown it.

  2. Add the legumes, herbs, vegetables, or other main ingredients and sauté briefly.

  3. Add the seasoning and enough water, then simmer gently.

  4. Add delicate ingredients such as prunes, unripe grapes, eggplant, or tender herbs later in cooking when appropriate.

  5. When the meat is tender and the sauce has thickened, adjust salt and acidity and serve with rice.

Cook's notes

Use gentle heat and enough time for the nuts to release their oils and for the sauce to become cohesive. Adjust sour or sweet seasoning near the end.

Background

This item is associated with Ardabil and the colder climate of northwestern Iran, where dairy, legumes, grains, and warming, hearty foods play an important role.
