Khoresh kadu

Khoresh kadu is a traditional stew that combines meat and zucchinis. Most recipes call for lamb as the meat of choice, but it can be replaced with beef or chicken. There are also some versions of this dish that don’t include meat at all. When preparing the stew, the meat is fried in vegetable oil with onions, garlic, tomatoes, and dried lime.

The dish is seasoned with salt, pepper, and turmeric. Before they’re added to the stew, the zucchinis are usually gently fried. This thick stew is usually served with steamed Persian rice.
