Khoresh-e Goje Sabz (Aloocheh) – Persian Green Plum and Herb Stew

Khoresh-e Goje Sabz is a flavourful lamb and herb stew with mouthwatering Persian green plums. As you may know, us Iranians love all things sour and so one thing many of us are obsessed with are Goje Sabz, Persian green plums. These are plums that are harvested unripe and therefore they are wonderfully crunchy and sour. In the stew they become soft but they give it a refreshing sour taste. You can find them in Middle Eastern and Turkish grocery stores and they are in season now.
