Answer 2

It was very exciting to see my first-ever cooked Ghormeh Sabzi not only looked good, but also tasted good!






Ghorme Sabzi (قورمه سبزی) is a tradition Persian cuisine served with steam boiled rice, but it is possible to have it even with bread. If translated in English word by word, its name is the stew of chopped beef and green leaves. Maybe what I made was not 100% faithful to the original recipe, but I liked it, and my German roommate did too!



It took about four hours to prepare the food out of scratch. Here is a very simplified recipe I used. I hope by recording it here, I can remember how to cook it later; also contribute my style of Ghormeh Sabzi cooking to the world! (Actually I learned it from a relative in Newport Beach, CA)

















To prepare this food, I used these ingredients:
- Stew beef ( 1 Publix pack, about 0.6 lb, I guess)
- Parsley ( 2 packs)
- Spring Onion ( 1 pack; originally it should be Chive)
- Baby Spinach ( 1 salad pack; originally, I think, it shouldn't be added!)
- Kidney Beans ( about 0.4 lb)
- Onion ( 1 large-size)
- Italian Seasoning ( as much as it gets the smell; originally it should be Fenugreek)
- Lemon juice ( about 0.5 cup)


First I sautéed the onion in vegetable oil, then I added the beef chops to it and closed the lid of the pot. Whenever I saw the beef juice was getting thick, I added some boiling water, just to cover the beef chops. I continued this process for about 3 hours, until the beef got soft. After 2 hours of boiling the beef, I added the kidney beans to the pot. Meanwhile, I cut the leaves of the parsley, and chopped it together with the onion spring and spinach. Then, I sautéed the well-chopped greens in a pan for about 10 minutes at a medium burner temperature. When the beef got soft, I added some water to make the chops almost floating in the water, then I added the greens sauté to the beef pot. I left the mixture to gently boil for about 40 more minutes. Finally I added the lemon juice to the stew and let it boil for 5 more minutes, when the food was finally ready.
