Etymology
Ghormeh is derived from Persian and means "braised," while sabzi is the Persian word for herbs.[2]
Preparation
Homemade ghormeh sabzi served with chelow and Shirazi salad
The main ingredients are a mixture of sauteed herbs, consisting mainly of parsley, leeks or green onions, and coriander, seasoned with the key spice of dried fenugreek leaves. The herb mixture has many variations. [3]
Any dark bitter greens can be used, such as kale, mustard greens, or turnip greens, although none are part of the original recipe.[4]
This mixture is cooked with kidney beans, yellow or red onions, black lime (pierced dried limou-Amani Persian lime), and turmeric-seasoned lamb or beef. The dish is then served with polo (Persian parboiled and steamed rice) or over tahdig.[5]
The Financial Times noted that there is much disagreement among Iranians on the ingredients used in the stew.[6]
Cultural importance
Self magazine listed ghormeh sabzi as one of twelve of the most meaningful dishes among cultures passed down among families.[7] The Tehran Times wrote that the dish "is one of the most prominent dishes in Persian culinary heritage."[8]
Iranians in the diaspora traditionally celebrate "International Ghormeh Sabzi Appreciation Day" two days after Thanksgiving.[9]
