Answer 2

(L)
Maahi Kabab (Fish)
Ingredients: (4 servings)

Whole fish (such as salmon or cod)
Fresh lime juice, 1/2 cup
Extra-virgin olive oil, 1/2 cup
Coriander, 50 grams
Parsley, 50 grams
Mint, 50 grams
Saffron, 1/2 teaspoon
Salt
Black pepper
Directions:
Note that fresh fish should have raised eyes and should be bright red under the ears.

Cut fish length-wise from below. Remove insides, then wash inside and out, and dry thoroughly. Place each side under grill at high temperature for 5-10 minutes so that the skin dries up. Remove fish and separate skin which should come off easily.

Prepare sauce as following: wash and finely chop coriander, parsley and mint. Add lime juice, olive oil, saffron, salt, and black pepper, and mix well.

Cover a suitable pan with aluminum foil and place fish on top. Add the sauce on both sides as well as inside. Cover with a sheet of aluminum foil and cook in oven at medium temperature for 45 minutes to one hour. Note however that exact cooking time depends on the type and size of fish. Take care not to over-cook. Add more sauce 2 or 3 times during cooking. When cooked, decorate fish with slices of lime or lemon and some parsley. Serve with Sabzi Polow. It is customary to serve Maahi Kabab with Sabzi Polow on the Iranian New Year's day which coincides with the Spring Equinox.

Answer 5

My favorite is called Gormeh Sabzi, a green vegetable sauce eaten over rice. I have two recipes for it. The first is from a cookbook I bought in Iran and the second is from a Persian friend. I prefer the second, but include both in case you want to try variations.
Recipe I
1/3 cup black-eyed peas
1 1/2 cups water
4 tbsp shortening
1 lb stew beef cut in 1" cubes
1 medium onion (finely copped)
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
4 tbsp shortening
1 cup chopped green onions
1 cup leek (chopped)
1 cup spinach (chopped)
1 cup parsley (chopped)
2 cups water
3 tbsp lemon juice
Cook peas in 1 1/2 cup water on medium heat for about 20minutes. Melt shortening in 2-quart pot. Add meat, onions, and seasoning and saute until the meat is browned. Meanwhile, melt 4 tbsp shortening in a frying pan, add chopped green onions, leek, spinach and parsley and saute for 10 minutes. Add 2 cups of water and lemon juice to the meat, cover, and let simmer for about 30 minutes. When meat is tender, add cooked peas and vegetables 15-20 minutes before serving. Serve over rice. 4-5 servings.

Recipe 2
2 onions, finely chopped
2 lbs lamb, veal or beef
1/3 cup oil
1 can kidney beans
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp turmeric
2 cups chopped parsley
1 cup chopped green onions
1 bunch chopped fresh spinach
3 tbsp dried fenugreek or 1/2 cup fresh
4 whole limon-omani (pierced) or use 4 tablespoons of lemon juice if you cannot find limon-omani (little hard, dried Persian limes)
Brown onions and meat om 3 tablespoons oil in dutch oven. Add drained kidney beans. Stir in salt, pepper, and turmeric. Add 3 1/2 cup water. Bring to a boil. Cover and simmer for one hour, stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile, saute parsley, green onions, spinach & fenugreek in remaining oil for 10 minutes.
When meat is done, add herbs & limon-omani. (If you use lemon juice, add it at the very end.) Cover and simmer for another hour.
Adjust seasoning and serve over rice.
