- Beef — Choose a tender cut of beef, such as chuck or stew meat, and cut it into small cubes to ensure tenderness in the final dish.
- Tomato paste — Use a good quality tomato paste to enhance the flavor of the stew.
Tips & Tricks
- For a vegetarian version, you can substitute the beef with mushrooms or tofu for a delicious plant-based alternative.
- To add a touch of sweetness, you can include a tablespoon of pomegranate molasses to the stew.
- Serve the Khoresh Lubia Sabz with a dollop of creamy yogurt on top for a cooling contrast to the spices.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can simmer the stew uncovered for the last 10 minutes of cooking.
- Leftovers of Khoresh Lubia Sabz taste even better the next day as the flavors continue to develop.
