How to make persian herb & beef stew (ghormeh sabzi)
One of the most delicious Persian dishes. Some consider it the national dish of Iran. Requires patience to prepare & very healthy if you don't sauté herbs - simply let them simmer in the stew. Enjoy!

Wash your greens

Chop onions and brown with olive oil

The combination of herbs and dried lime is just divine and reminds me of Iran each and every time I prepare this meal for my family. Notice I didn't sauté the herbs so nice and healthy.
