Lubeh Polo is a flavorful Persian dish that combines rice, green beans, ground or shredded beef or lamb, tomatoes, and aromatic spices like cinnamon and turmeric. Originating from Iranian cuisine, it is often enjoyed as a comforting, all-in-one meal. The dish is typically prepared by layering cooked rice with the meat and green bean mixture, allowing the flavors to meld together while creating a crispy rice crust called "tahdig" at the bottom of the pot. Lubeh Polo offers a balance of protein, fiber, and complex carbohydrates, making it a hearty and nourishing option. Green beans contribute vitamins and minerals, while the spices offer antioxidant benefits. However, its nutritional profile can vary depending on the amount of oil and type of meat used. Opting for lean meat and minimizing added fat can make this dish healthier while maintaining its rich, savory flavor.
