Cook Time: 1 hour

Ingredients

  • 500 gram Diced lamb
  • 400 gram Ghormez sabze dried - 2 cans
  • 5 pcs. Lime dried
  • Kidney Beans red - 2 handfuls
  • 2 pcs. Onion
  • 12 gram Turmeric
  • Rice

Instructions

  • If your Sabzi is made with dried, soak the 4 dl a few hours before making the dish.
  • Additionally, soak the red beans overnight.
  • Start by adding chopped onions to a pot with a bit of oil.
  • When they've sautéed in a bit of oil, add the lamb.
  • Add salt, pepper, and turmeric.
  • Sauté the meat with the onions until it's browned.
  • When the meat is browned, add in the herbs (sabzi). 
  • Then add 5-6 dl of water.
  • Stir well and let it simmer covered for about 15 minutes over medium-high heat.
  • After half an hour, add the red beans and the dried limes.
  • Prick holes in your limes with a fork before adding them to the dish.
  • Let it continue to simmer for about 30-45 minutes with the lid on.
  • While the dish simmers, cook the rice.
  • If desired, you can make saffron rice like I do.
  • Enjoy ??
