Khoresh 'eh rivas -- persian rhubarb stew
Ragout and stew
Khoresh is a genre of Persian food that is not merely a staple but also a quintessential pillar of Persian cooking. Widely translated as “stew”, Khoresh is certainly stew-like or stew-ish, but it is more elaborate, deliberate, and nuanced.
<br />
<br /> “Khoresh rivas” or rhubarb stew is not good - it is amazing. Pieces of succulent rhubarb and tender meat in an aromatic herb-infused pool of tart and savory flavors. Delicious, sophisticated, inviting.
<br />
<br />SERVING: Pour khoresh into a serving bowl and serve hot. (Khoresh is always served with polo - Persian style fluffy steamed rice.)
<br />Typically, each person gets 2 ladles to pour over and mix with their rice. Second helpings are inevitable and encouraged.
<br />
<br />Noosheh jaan!
