In light of the Zan, Zendegi, Azadi movement (Women, Life, Freedom) we are not broadcasting new content this week. Instead, we are “re-beating” an earlier episode about Khoresh (original episode #8).
Co-hosts Bita and Beata talk about their favorite Persian stews which are served with rice - what’s in them, how to prepare them, short-cuts (Beats Cheats) and favorites.
What is Persian Stew (khoresh or khoresht) and is it really a stew?
More of a hearty sauce made with delicious braised meat, vegetables, herbs, nuts, beans, and/or legumes served over a mound of rice.
