Khoresh Gheymeh (Split Pea & Lamb Stew)

Warm your soul with Chef Javad’s Khoresh Gheymeh, a deeply comforting and authentic Persian stew. This classic dish is a beloved staple in Iranian homes and a highlight at Chef Javad Restaurant, celebrated as one of London’s best Persian restaurants.

This hearty lamb stew features tender pieces of diced lamb slow-cooked with creamy yellow split peas in Chef Javad’s special Persian tomato sauce. The stew gains its signature tangy depth from whole dried limes (Limoo Omani), which simmer gently, infusing the sauce with their unique flavour.

Traditionally garnished with a delightful contrast of crispy, thin chips (fries) just before serving, this rich and savoury stew is served alongside fluffy saffron rice. It’s the ultimate Persian comfort food experience.
