Khoresh kangar

Khoresh kangar is a traditional stew originating from Iran. The stew is usually made with a combination of acanthus (the tender white part of the plant's stalks), onions, tomato paste, saffron, lime juice, turmeric, oil, salt, pepper, and meat such as beef, veal, lamb, or chicken.

The meat is browned in oil with sautéed onions, and it's then seasoned with turmeric. The tomato paste is added to the pot, the mixture is seasoned with salt and pepper, and then simmered over medium heat until the meat is tender. The acanthus is fried and added to the pot with lime juice and saffron.
