About Khoresht gheimeh

Khoresht Gheimeh is a traditional Persian stew celebrated for its rich flavors and comforting warmth. Originating from Iranian cuisine, this dish combines tender chunks of lamb or beef with yellow split peas, tomatoes, and a hint of tangy dried lime (limoo amani), creating a unique balance of savory and sour. It's typically seasoned with turmeric, cinnamon, and other aromatic spices, enhancing both taste and nutritional value. Served with steamed basmati rice, Gheimeh is a hearty meal that provides protein from the meat and split peas alongside dietary fiber. While nutritious, the dish can be calorie-dense due to the use of oil for sautéing and potentially fattier cuts of meat. Variations may include French fries as a topping, contributing additional carbohydrates and fats. Health-conscious versions focus on leaner meats, reduced oil, and a greater emphasis on plant-based ingredients for a lighter, yet equally satisfying, take on this Persian classic.
