Full text of this version

Ghormeh sabzi is a stew whose origins are traced to Iran. Ghormeh refers to braised meat and sabzi to vegetables.1

The Hazara version recorded in Quetta is built on spinach and kidney beans, cooked with spices and garlic, and served with rice or naan.1 The photograph here shows the Iranian dish, so it looks different.

See Hazara cuisine.
