Ghormeh sabzi is a herb stew. It is a popular dish, and Azerbaijan and is often said to be the Iranian national dish. The history of ghormeh sabzi goes back at least 500 to 1,000 years.

Ghormeh is a Turkish word and means stewed and Sabzi refers to herbs. The main ingredients are a mixture of sauteed herbs, consisting mainly of parsley, leeks or green onions, coriander, seasoned with the key spice of "shambalileh" (dried fenugreek) leaves. The herb mixture has many variations; any dark bitter green can be used (kale, mustard greens, turnip greens, etc., all work, although none are part of the original recipe).

This mixture is cooked with kidney beans or black-eyed peas, yellow or red onions, black lime (pierced dried limu-Omani lime), and turmeric-seasoned lamb or beef. In recent times, some people have replaced beans with potatoes. The dish is then served with polo or over tahdig.
