Khoresht

Khoresht

The word Khoresht (PerB|خورشت) is the Tehrani dialect term for Khoresh (PerB|خورش) in other Iranian dialects, and is alternately spelled "horisht". It is a gerund form and a derivative of the verb "xordan" (PerB|خوردن) 'to eat'.

It generally refers to different stews in Persian cuisine, and is typically served beside polo (white rice dish). In Persian cuisines there are lots of different Khoreshs based on the different ingredients which are used. In comparison with Kebabs, typically it takes more time to prepare one of these Khoreshs and for most of them, the key components are their vegetables and not their meat, therefore they can be cooked for the vegetarian people also. Persian Khoreshs have some similarities with typical Indian curries, in terms of prepartion. Iranian stews are different in that they use liberal amounts of saffron to give a distinctive and fragrant taste. The most popular Khoreshs are Khoresh Gheymeh, Khoresh Ghormeh Sabzi and Khoresh Fesenjaan.
