Persian Comfort: Khoresh Gheymeh with Saffron Rice & Havij Polo–Inspired Carrots (includes complimentary surprise dessert)

Step into the deeply aromatic world of Persian home cooking with this Khoresh Gheymeh Plate, a dish that honors centuries of Iranian culinary tradition and comfort-focused cooking. At its heart is Khoresh Gheymeh, a beloved Persian stew made with organic chuck roast, slow-simmered with yellow split peas in a tomato-forward sauce infused with dried Persian lime and warm, earthy spices. The result is a stew that is savory, tangy, and deeply comforting, offering a nourishing balance of protein, fiber, and essential minerals — a reflection of Persian cuisine’s ingredient-forward philosophy.

A defining element of Khoresh Gheymeh is the golden potato topping, added just before serving to provide texture and contrast while soaking up the stew’s bright, tangy juices.

The stew is accompanied by aromatic Persian rice, gently steamed and delicately scented with traditional spices, creating a fragrant and grounding base that complements the richness of the stew.

To complete the plate, a Havij Polo–inspired carrot accompaniment adds warmth, sweetness, and color. Carrots are prepared with gentle spices and citrus notes, offering beta-carotene and vitamin C, and bringing balance to the savory depth of the dish. A scattering of barberries adds a subtle tartness and a nod to classic Persian flavor pairing.

Together, the organic chuck roast stew, golden potatoes, aromatic rice, and fragrant carrots celebrate the depth, balance, and generosity of Persian cooking. This dish reflects a cuisine rooted in heritage and nourishment, offering a comforting, vibrant experience that feeds both body and soul.
