Advieh-khoresht

Advieh khoresh(t) is a spice mixture used in stews in Iran. Adviehs - such as advieh berenj (for rice) and this advieh khoresh - are classic Persian spice blends.

The term khoresh or khoresht in most parts of Iran refers to a stew, although in Sasanian, the language ancestor of Persian, the word means sauce. You search in vain for the term in cookbooks from before the seventeenth century. At that time, stews were called ghaliyeh, Arabic for stew. This name is still used on the Persian Gulf coast for stew dishes, elsewhere the term khoresh is used, with or without 't'.

Khoresh is served on steamed rice, just like a goulash or hash, or eaten with bread. A khoresh is by definition tied, but without the use of flour. One of the most famous khoresh dishes is khoresh-e-beh, a stew of lamb and quince. Many khoresh recipes use fruits, such as unripe plums, unripe (sour) grapes or verjuice, pomegranate, citrus fruits, even rhubarb.

In The legendary cuisine of Persia Margaret Shaida gives the following classic recipe for this mixture:

• coriander seed
• cinnamon
• turmeric
• cumin seeds
• caraway seed
• green cardamom
• black pepper
• cloves and
• nutmeg
