About Abgoosht
Abgoosht is an Azeri-Persian meat broth and stew. Homa's version simmers bone-in beef short ribs with onion, garlic, turmeric and black pepper, then adds chickpeas, tomato, potato and sour grapes.
The broth is deeply savoury and gently tangy, with tomato, turmeric and sour grapes balancing the richness of the beef. Optional okra, green pepper and saffron remain clearly separate choices in this recipe.
The tender meat and vegetables are served whole or mashed. Their broth is poured over pieces of pita to make tileet, while extra bread, raw onion, fresh herbs and pickled vegetables are optional accompaniments.
