Khoresh karafs is a traditional Iranian stew made mainly from a combination of celery, beef or lamb, onions, parsley, and mint, flavored with turmeric and saffron
Karafs means celery, so here a whole head of crunchy, pale green stalks and two bunches of herbs simmer alongside beef. The sweet flavor of caramelized onions provides the base note to a funky green broth tarted up with fermented Persian lime. This dish comes with Basmati rice with turmeric and saffron.
Vegetarian option available with eggplant.
