Guest Posted December 28, 2000 Report Share Posted December 28, 2000 For those of you familiar with Barsik or Barskahay cooking, ghormeh sabzi is a treat that often takes a lot of time. I do a shortcut version that I am sure purists would hate, but I find most people like it, including my very picky uncle who asks me to make it because my aunt has little time to cook now( being an artist and all!) Here it is: 1. In a medium pot brown 1 lb of stew meat(lamb or beef) in olive oil adding chopped onions and garlic, keep browning until the onions are translucent. 2. Add dried limes, turmeric, salt, pepper and kidney beans (from a can, no one will know!) and stir fry for another two minutes. 3. Pour 4 1/2 cups of water and bring to a boil, then reduce to low heat to simmer for 30 minutes 4. meanwhile in a separate skillet heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil and add ghormeh sabzi greens ( buy the dehydrated cans from Sadaf, soak in water for about 10 minutes) and fry for about 15 minutes, add turmeric if desired. 5. Add the greens to the simmering meat, cover and simmer on low heat for 30-40 minutes Serve with basmati rice only! No short grain pilaf allowed!

Hhhmmmm. i know some might get mad but I much prefer persian cooking to armenian, I'm sorry. We can dedicate this thread to berkashay cooking! So i meade the pecahcake and my mum and brother ate it all and din't leave me any!!by the way, what are the gormeh sabez greens? I can buy the pack from safars so I might as well do then fresh.

Guest Posted December 29, 2000 Report Share Posted December 29, 2000 Kazza jan, I agree with you about Persian food! Uh oh! I hope there isn't a new war on this forum now! The ghormeh sabzi greens are fenugreek, leeks, parsley and coriander. Are you sure you can't find dehydrated ghormeh sabzi greens over there? Try a Pakistani market, who knows? The dehydrated are perfectly fine, convenient and no one will know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
