My daughter made a trip around the world and brought home this recipe from Iran. I've served it often to many of my friends, and they always seem to savor its different, zingy taste. —Bertha Davis, Springfield, Missouri
2 to 2-1/2 pounds beef stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 tablespoons butter
2 large onions, chopped
1 teaspoon saffron
1 can (10-1/2 ounces) beef broth
1 cup water
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1-1/2 teaspoons dried mint
2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 to 3 cups sliced fresh or frozen rhubarb
Hot cooked rice
Fresh mint leaves, torn
Directions
In a Dutch oven, brown beef in butter. Remove meat from pan; drain all but 2 tablespoons drippings. Saute onions until lightly browned. Return meat to pan. Add saffron, broth, water, lemon juice, parsley, mint, salt and pepper; cover and simmer until meat is tender, about 2 hours. Add more water as needed. Add rhubarb during the last 15 minutes of cooking. Serve over rice; top with fresh mint.
Reviews
If you like pickled savory foods you will like this. Next time I will cut the saffron and half the salt.
It is probably an acquired taste, not bad, just different.
