Quick heads-up: This stew is served on its own. If you’d like the full experience, I recommend adding a side of my steamed Persian-style rice with saffron. A cozy, comforting Persian stew made with melt-in-your-mouth pumpkin, tender beef, caramelized onions, a touch of cinnamon, and a splash of lime juice. It’s rich, slightly sweet, tangy, and full of autumn soul. I pour a little joy into every pot — hope it finds its way to your plate. Nosh-e jan — a Persian wish: may it nourish your soul.
