INSTRUCTIONS
A 'khoreshe' is a sauce-like main dish, to be served with rice. 'Tareh'
resembles leeks, but much smaller, and has a garlic flavor.
In a heavy pan, brown the onion in oil over medium heat, stirring
frequently. Add turmeric and fry for another minute or so. Add remaining
ingredients, stir, and cover. Decrease heat to low and let simmer until
lentils are tender, about 40 minutes. Adjust seasonings if necessary and
serve khoreshe with the best quality of rice you can obtain; basmati is
what I recommend. Wholemeal flatbread is nice also, especially for dipping
into the khoreshe.
Variation: Substitute 1/2 pound of fresh or frozen fava beans for the
lentils. Decrease water to 1-1/2 cups.
