IRANIAN WASH-DAY STEW



Iranian Wash-Day Stew image

This recipe came from one of the Fix It and Forget It cookbooks. I don't drain the cans of beans and I omit the water. It works for me. I also don't peel the tomato. Added note: I noticed reviewers mentioning using broth and I even made this somewhat recently and forgot to *not* drain the beans. It's way better with just dumping the beans and their, um, bean juice? right into the pan and skipping the water. So I'm correcting the recipe to remove the words "drained" (beans) and "1 quart water".

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2-2 lbs stewing beef (or lamb)
2 (15 ounce) cans chickpeas
2 (15 ounce) cans white beans
2 medium onions, peeled and quartered

3 tablespoons lemon juice

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients in a slow cooker.

  • I serve with Hoda's Cucumber-Yogurt. Combine 32 ounces of plain yogurt with 1 large cucumber peeled and diced (about .5 cm size), a LOT of dill (at least a tablespoon), and salt to taste. (I asked my friend Hoda what it's called and she told me in Persian. I said, "what does that mean?" "Cucumbers and Yogurt." Well, okay.).

WASH DAY STEW

This is an Iranian recipe. In Iran this would be made on wash day. (Prepared early in the morning and cooked slowly all day over hot coals.) I've modernized it a bit, adding chicken broth in place of the water and canned tomatoes instead of fresh. The original recipe is strained and stuffed into pita bread. I serve it with the liquid and pita bread on the side.
