Advieh-khoresh

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

In most parts of Iran, the term khoresh or khoresht refers to a stew, although in Sassanian, the precursor language of Persian, the word means sauce. You'll find the term in vain in cookbooks from before the seventeenth century. Stews were called ghaliyeh called, Arabic for stew. This name is still used on the Persian Gulf coast for stewed fish dishes; elsewhere, the term khoresh is used, with or without the 't'.

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

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

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