Persian Stews

Persian stews, known as khoresht, are prized for their layered flavors and slow-developed sauces. Ghormeh sabzi combines herbs, beans, and dried limes, while fesenjan blends ground walnuts with pomegranate for a rich sweet-tart sauce. Gheymeh features split peas and tomato, often topped with crisp potato sticks. Each stew pairs beautifully with steamed Persian rice.
