Gheymeh stew
Gheymeh stew is a delicious Iranian dish made with yellow split peas, meat (usually lamb or beef), onions, and a fragrant blend of spices. It’s typically cooked slowly to allow the flavors to meld together and create a rich, hearty stew. Gheymeh stew is often served with saffron-infused rice, and it’s a popular choice for special occasions or gatherings.
Ingredients
- 1 pound lamb or beef, cut into cubes
- 1 cup yellow split peas
- 2 large onions finely chopped

- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 4 cups water or beef broth

Optional toppings:
Instructions
- Rinse the yellow split peas under cold water and soak them in water for about 1 hour. Drain and set aside.
