Sabzi
Sabzi recipes are a staple of Persian cuisine, and can be traced back to ancient times. The word “sabzi” simply means “vegetables,” and these dishes typically feature a variety of fresh herbs and greens. Common ingredients in sabzi recipes include spinach, chives, parsley, cilantro, and mint.
Sabzi dishes are often served as a side dish, but they can also be enjoyed as a main course. One of the most popular sabzi recipes is ghormeh sabzi, a hearty stew made with beef, lamb, or chicken. This dish is typically served over steamed rice, and is garnished with fresh herbs and greens.
Other popular sabzi recipes include kashk e bademjan, a stew made with eggplant and yogurt; and borani esfenaj, a spinach and yogurt dish. These dishes are typically served as part of a larger meal, and are often accompanied by bread or rice.
