Sorry but this is not accurate at all. As much as I love this dish, I wouldn't call it a national Iranian dish. Nationally, Iran is known more for its ground meat, steak, and chicken kabobs with basmati rice. Also, ghormeh sabzi is not usually served during the Persian new year. Traditionally, various fish dishes (mahi) are served as well as a specific type of herbed basmati rice called sabzi polo. Telling viewers that this dish is served during Persian new year is like saying that spaghetti and meatballs is a dish traditionally served for Thanksgiving. Not to hate on spaghetti (it's a free country, eat what you want on turkey day, but it's simply not true. I understand that every family has their own traditions, but to market this as a traditional or 'authentic' recipe really isn't fair to Persian cuisine or culture.

If u arent persian the comments might seem a little too critical, but food is a huge part of iranian culture. Mastering the techniques, balance of flavour, and presentation of food is really important, especially when ur hosting guests, which is another huge part of out culture. Ghorme sabzi is something u dont rly get experimental with lmao, and the whole point of persian stews is the flavours cooking for hours and hours and creating whole new flavours, the point of iranian stews isnt the freshness and lightness of the ingredients. Also the rustic presentation also throws some people off BUT w all that being said shes doing wonderfully maintaining her culture and its cuisine! And its great shes sharing it as well

Id like to say, that i understand those in the comments who are upset she didnt use lamb, but i think yall should be happy that she put the light on such a meal and a peek at persian cuisine through vice. I dont know squat. But id agree with ya. Id prefer the lamb. Is what she did perfect? Maybe not to you, but i dont think thats the point, shes sharing something most ppl dont know about and seeing how amazing other cultures foods are. I personally love it. Id love to see more middle eastern styles because of this. So, be happy cuz if ya show love, we may get more representation from more middle eastern goodies.

Today, We are going to cook the classic Italian dish that has been in my family and it's how real Italians make this, chicken parmesamt. -We begin by killing and cooking a whole lobster in boiling vinegar. Then we will marinate the cheese with spinach and boiled bacon over night. -Then we will put all the ingredients in tin foil and cook them on the grill. -enjoy our authentic Italian chicken parmesamt!

I'm not sure if this is correctly made. or pronounced correctly. being Filipino and Italian families have their own riff on all recipes so I'd assume other cultures do the same? I personally do not know anybody from Iran or anything about Iran except for war. fighting and bloodshed. the comment section here certainly doesn't encourage me to want to change this. very mean spirited comments here.

The food looks delicious and Farideh I could fall in love with oh so easily. Can't get over the amount of food snobbery in the comments though. Lighten up people - food changes with cook, location and season. As the saying goes, don't knock it till you try it. If you've something to add you don't need to take away. Next time I burn my tongue this will make me smile.

I have heard of parts in Iran that cook Ghormeh Sabzi with Duck instead of veal or lamb but never have I heard of using chicken before. It gets too stringy and does not separate from the rest of the stew, which you can also see in this video. I'm all for trying and would like to try the duck version but sometimes the classic is classic for a reason; )

simply having one parent who is from iran who married a person who is not from iran nor of iranian heritage doesnt produce a -persian- household. you didnt grow up in a -persian household-. your pronunciation of names and execution of this iconic dish are indicative of the fact you grew up in a household that was not iranian.

Looking at a good amount of these comments from supposed Iranians: ---THAT'S NOT GHORMEH SABZI. YOU CAN'T USE CHICKEN. ---But then again. ---WOMEN CAN'T WATCH SPORTS IN STADIUMS. ---Now it makes sense. Perhaps the free world will come to respect your opinion once you properly treat your women like human beings.

This is not Ghormeh Sabzi. I-m from Iran so I know what is ghormeh sabzi. Ghormeh sabzi mostly made with lamb meat or cow and in some parts in northern Iran with duck but no chicken. also the vegs she used are all wrong, seriously Celery! celery has its own stew.
