Torshi Tareh Recipe
Step 1
Wash the herbs a couple of times until it is clean from dust. Then put them in a colander to drain the excess water. Now transfer them to a tray and chop them finely. The smaller you chop, the easier they cook.
Step 2
Wash and rinse the rice to eliminate extra starch, and let the rice soak for an hour.
Step 3
Put a pan on heat and add a tablespoon of oil. Then sauté the chopped herbs and a pinch of salt and turmeric in oil over medium heat.
Step 3
Transfer the chopped herbs and soaked rice to a pot, pour a cup of boiled water to cover the herbs, and let it cook for half an hour on low heat. The northern people of Iran traditionally use Gamaj, a clay pot. This pot helps the stew cook slower and spread the heat better.
Step 4
Peel the garlic cloves and grate them. Put a pan on heat and add two to three tablespoons of oil. Then sauté the grated garlic and a teaspoon of salt and turmeric in oil over medium heat until the aroma of the spices is released.
Step 5
Add the eggs to the pan, stir them a little bit and let them cook. You want a puffy mixture.
Step 6
Add the eggs to the pot containing herbs. You should not stir the eggs vigorously to preserve their texture.
Step 7
Add the verjuice and black pepper to the pot and let it cook and simmer uncovered on low heat for a while. Let the water in the stew simmer and reduce. You can taste the seasoning and add more if needed. Pour the stew into the desired dish when it gets a nice thick consistency. You can serve it with saffron rice and fresh vegetables. Enjoy your meal.
