Persian Beef, Herb and Kidney Bean Stew

This classic Persian stew, called ghormeh sabzi, often is regarded as Iran's national dish. Dried limes and an assortment of fresh herbs that are fried give the sauce a unique flavor and an unusual deep-green hue. In our simplified version, we streamlined the method and used easier-to-source ingredients, including opting for canned beans. If you prefer, use an equal amount of boneless lamb shoulderin place of the beef. Serve with plenty of steamed basmati rice and a cucumber-tomato salad.

Ingredients
  • 1

    bunch cilantro leaves and tender stems (4 cups lightly packed)

  • ½

    bunch flat-leaf parsley leaves and tender stems (2 cups lightly packed)

Directions
  1. 01
    In a food processor, combine the cilantro, parsley and scallion greens. Pulse until finely chopped, about 10 pulses. Set aside. On a 6-quart Instant Pot, select Normal/Medium Sauté. Add the oil and heat until shimmering. Add the scallion whites and cook, stirring, until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in half the chopped herbs and cook, stirring, until wilted and the color is no longer vibrant green, about 2 minutes. Add the lime zest and juice, turmeric, beef, 1 teaspoon salt and ½ cup of the reserved bean liquid. Stir, loosening any bits stuck to the bottom of the pot, then distribute in an even layer.
