About
Traditionally, khoresh karafs is prepared with red meat, but unlike ghormeh sabzi or gheimeh, it is common to substitute chicken meat in this recipe. This food has become more diverse in recent years, and its vegan and vegetarian varieties have entered the diet of Iranian families. In Najmieh Batmanglij's cookbook New Food of Life, she suggests using white broad beans for a vegetarian version.This stew is characterized by being sour. Traditionally, unripe grapes are used as a souring agent, but the use of lemon juice, lime juice, tamarind, or even citric acid also occurs as an alternative souring agent. Khoresh karafs, like all other types of Iranian stews, is exclusively served with Persian rice.
