KHORESHT GHEYMEH



Khoresht Gheymeh image

This delicious Iranian stew is made with yellow split peas, meat, fried onion, tomato paste, and dried lime powder, and of course, every Khoresht comes with a plate of rice. If you search for the word "Gheymeh" in Persian dictionaries, you will find that it means minced meat. Back in the day, every dish that had meat in it used to be called Gheymeh. Khoresht Gheymeh or split pea stew is one of the easiest dishes in Persian cuisine, and because of that, it's easy to add different spices to it. If you travel to Iran, every city's Gheymeh has a unique taste of its own.

1 ½ tablespoons oil
1 medium onion, chopped
¾ pound beef stew meat, cut into small pieces
1 cup dried split peas
2 dried Persian limes
1 ½ tablespoons tomato paste, or to taste
1 teaspoon salt
1 pinch curry powder, or to taste

Add stew meat, split peas, limes, tomato paste, salt, curry powder, turmeric, and pepper. Add just enough water to fully cover the surface of the mixture. Cover and simmer until split peas are tender and meat is cooked through and no longer pink in the center, 2 to 3 hours.
  • Just before the stew is ready, heat 2 inches oil in a deep saucepan over medium heat to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Slice potatoes into 2-inch long, thin pieces and lower carefully into the hot oil in batches. Fry until soft, 4 to 5 minutes per batch. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
  • Increase the heat so the oil is 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Fry potatoes again, until golden and crisp, 4 to 5 minutes per batch. Remove from the oil and drain on fresh paper towels.
  • Pour stew into bowls and place potatoes on the surface.
