Meat or Chicken Stew No. 4
This rich and aromatic Parsi stew combines tender meat or chicken with earthy cowpeas and sweet carrots in a luscious, coconut-based gravy. The dish features a complex spice blend of cardamom, cloves, and curry powder, balanced by the sharp tang of vinegar and the savory depth of ghee. Slow-cooked until the ghee separates, it results in a semi-dry, succulent texture that pairs perfectly with crusty bread or rotis.
Irish Stew II (Parsi Style)
A rich and aromatic Parsi interpretation of the classic Irish Stew, featuring tender meat slow-cooked with a bountiful assortment of root vegetables and beans. Unlike the Western original, this version is elevated with Indian aromatics like ginger, garlic, and chili, creating a savory, semi-dry gravy that clings to the succulent ingredients. The dish is traditionally prepared using a water-lid technique to lock in moisture, resulting in a flavorful one-pot meal that pairs perfectly with crusty bread or rotis.
Instructions
- 1Place meat trimmings, meat bones, and gravy beef (if using) into a large stewpan or pot. Stick the onions with the cloves. Add the onions, turnip, carrots, celery seed (tied in muslin), savory herbs, and parsley to the pot with the meat.
- 2Pour the pot liquor (or broth) over the ingredients in the pot. Bring to a simmer over low heat. Gently simmer, removing any scum that rises to the surface. Continue simmering for approximately 30 minutes, or until the flavors have melded.
- 3Strain the soup through a fine-mesh sieve. Season with pepper and salt to taste. Serve hot.
