Ghormeh Sabzi
Iran's most beloved khoresh: a dark herb stew with lamb, red kidney beans, dried lime and fenugreek.
Origin & history
Ghormeh sabzi is a khoresh — a Persian braised stew served with rice — and is often called Iran's national dish. Its character comes from herbs fried slowly until deeply aromatic, plus limoo amani (dried limes), which give a sour, fermented note. Persian cooking balances sour, sweet and savoury rather than heat.
