About Khoreshte karafs

Khoreshte Karafs, a traditional Persian stew, blends the rich flavors of celery, parsley, and mint with tender pieces of beef or lamb, all simmered in a tangy base of turmeric, lime juice, and optional tomato paste. This dish, originating from Iranian cuisine, showcases a balance of fresh herbs and aromatic spices. It’s typically served alongside fluffy basmati rice, making it a comforting yet nutrient-packed meal. Celery, the star ingredient, provides a good source of vitamins K and C, and has anti-inflammatory properties. Parsley and mint offer antioxidants and aid digestion, while the meat contributes proteins and essential minerals like zinc and iron. However, depending on preparation, Khoreshte Karafs may be high in saturated fat, particularly with fattier meat cuts. Opting for lean proteins and moderate oil use can make this flavorful dish a heart-healthy choice within Persian culinary traditions.
