Gheymeh nesar

(قیمه نثار)

Gheymeh nesar is a festive Iranian dish originating from Qazvin. It consists of diced meat such as beef or lamb that is braised with onions and spices, as well as steamed rice and a flavorful combination of various ingredients such as slivered pistachios and almonds, barberries, and sliced orange peel.


All the elements are prepared separately and are usually flavored with a blend of saffron, turmeric, cardamom, cinnamon, cumin, or other spices. The dish is traditionally served on a communal plate, neatly arranged and layered to allow each element to remain visible.
